Picturesque Germania Imagery
Obverse: Lady Germania is illustrated with confidence and poise on the obverse, as she steps from sea to land, while clutching an imperial sword (Reichsschwert) and a patriotic shield. Her faithful companion, a bicephalous (two-headed) eagle is depicted in flight beside her, ready call out a forewarning of potential danger. The double-headed eagle symbolizes the trust in knowledge gained from past experience to move forward into the future. Inscribed “GERMANIA 2022” and “1 OZ AG 999.9.”
Reverse: The Germania Mint’s heraldic styled emblem is centered on the reverse, featuring a meticulously rendered two-headed eagle with a pair of notched bolts held in its talons. The image is surrounded by the inscriptions “5 MARK” and “GERMANIA,” along with a pair of gently curving branches of laurel. Since the Euro has been the official currency of the nation since 1999, the German Mark denomination is purely an ornamental attribute of the design.
