  • 100 Years of Votes for Women

    100 Years of Votes for Women

    On January 19, 1919, women in Germany were allowed to exercise their right to vote at national level in the German federal elections.

    The image side depicts a group of women running toward the observer, as if in a protest march. The enforcement of the right to vote was thanks to many committed personalities. Therefore, the coin does not show a protest march in any specific historic situation, but a group of women from different times, who have fought until today for equal participation in political processes. The coin commemorates both the democratic achievement of the women’s right to vote in 1919 and the dynamic that began already in 1908 with the annulment of the law of associations, which prevented women from political involvement. The value side features an eagle, the lettering “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND” (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY), the denomination and value designation, the mint mark “D” for the Bavarian State Mint, Munich (Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt, München), the year 2019 and the twelve stars of Europe. It also bears the mark “SILBER 925” (SILVER 925).

  • The Brave Little Tailor from the Grimm’s Fairy Tales series

    The Brave Little Tailor

    This coin is the eighth to be issued as part of the “200 Years of Grimm’s Fairy Tales” series started in 2012. The first collection of Children’s and Household Tales by the Brothers Grimm was published on December 20, 1812, and has been part of the UNESCO Memory of the World Program since 2005.

    The image side depicts the brave little tailor from the perspective of the end of the story. The figure wears both the attributes of his original craft as well as the crown, as a symbol of the position he achieved as a ruler. The defeated flies, which originally triggered the action, lie at the little tailor’s feet along with the palace. The figure and the palace are portrayed in great simplicity and clarity. The illustration does not lose itself in the individual elements of the fairy tale nor in traditional subjects. The value side features an eagle, the lettering “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND” (FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF GERMANY), the denomination and value designation, the mint mark “G” for the State Mints of Baden-Württemberg, Karlsruhe mint (Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg, Prägestätte Karlsruhe), the year 2019 and the twelve stars of Europe.
