ALLEGORIES: POLONIA & GERMANIA – 2022 5 Mark 1oz silver BU
Polonia and Germania is the fifth coin from Germania Mint’s Allegories, coming to Collectors in 2022. The whole series depicts personifications of countries around the world in a form of beautiful, sensual, and strong women.
Reverse face - According to the previous series, the image on the reverse is the coat of arms representing moral principles and noble values. Germania was a historical land and has never been an official country, that is why we have decided to create our own interpretation of its coat of arms. Its symbols and design are a creation of our imagination; however it has been created in accordance with applicable heraldry rules.
The crowned shield has been divided into four parts, from which each has a traditional meaning, precisely defined by heraldry. The shield itself is a symbol of truth, loyalty and trust. The crown equals authority and nobility as well as chivalry.
The check pattern refers to wisdom and prudence – characteristics of every noble sovereign.
The gold ribbon with three flowers represent the determining values of a strong and independent nation – unity, integrity and freedom.
The wild boar – a symbol of mightiness, was a very popular and respectful animal in the Roman Empire
The Coat of Arms is surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. Wreath symbolizes loyalty, stability and national unity.
Obverse face - The obverse of the coin presents the personifications of Polonia and Germania, depicted as young and beautiful women. In the past, the female figure embodying the Kingdom of Poland was imbued with divinity. In the artistic vision of Germania Mint, she is holding a large shield with an eagle (symbol of victory and strength). The eagle has been part of our emblem since the first Polish city was founded.
