Description Coin

Description Coin

The coin, designed by Anna Hrecka (obverse) and Patrick Niesel (reverse), depicts the events of a life-saving emergency response in a central and detailed manner. This scene is framed by a three-dimensional representation of rescue vehicles, ambulances, and a rescue helicopter. A fine ECG line forms the horizon of the image, terminating at the right edge of the coin with the emergency vehicle and the Europe-wide emergency number 112. The polymer ring does not define the boundaries but is an integral part of the scene, both within and around the coin.

Backgroundinformation

Backgroundinformation

Emergency medical services in Germany are a central component of public safety and health. They ensure that professional help arrives quickly in medical emergencies – 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Their tasks include emergency rescue, patient transport, and, in the event of major incidents, supporting the fire department and disaster relief organizations. These services are primarily provided by aid organizations such as the German Red Cross, the Johanniter, the Malteser, and the Arbeiter-Samariter-Bund (ASB), but also by municipal emergency medical services and private providers. Emergency physicians and specially trained paramedics treat patients at the scene and decide on further measures. Emergency medical services are therefore an indispensable pillar of the healthcare system and make a significant contribution to protecting the population.
