2021 Germania 1 oz Silver Proof
It is with great pleasure that we present the Germania coin for 2021 – the year in which the heroine sets sail to open a new era in the history of Germania Mint.
Lady Germania, in a daring pose on the bow of a sailing vessel, appears to be leading her people on a journey into broad waters. Traditionally, crowned with a laurel wreath, she is clad in her armor and falling cloth. In her hands she wields the imperial sword Reichsschwert and a flag fluttering in the wind. What makes the 2021 coin extraordinary, is the broadening perspective of the obverse on the subsequent coins in the series – 1, 2, 10 oz and 1 kg.
The reverse of the 2021 coin remains unchanged, presenting the Germania Mint effigy with a two-headed eagle holding lightning bolts, surrounded by olive branches. The eagle is a symbol from Germanic mythology, associated with Janus – the god of all origins, guardian of gates and bridges, the patron of alliances. The eagle's heads facing the opposite symbolize the past and the future.
When creating coins, it is equally important for Germania Mint to provide them with safe and elegant packaging. That is why each piece is arranged in a dedicated capsule with a shape of a lens, which lets to admire it even more. In addition, the 1 oz Silver Proof coin received a special luxury blisterpack, which not only protects, but also increases its collecting value. The COA included with every set contains all the necessary information and guarantees the originality of the coin.
