The Allegorie series coins are created in one diameter of 38.61mm and four different weights & heights, in the range from 3 mm for 1 oz to 25.85 mm for 10 oz coin.

Obverse
The personification of Italy is depicted as a young woman with long, curly hair and pleated dress highlighting her femininity. Her head surrounded by a mural crown completed by towers represents an emblem of tutelary deities who watch over a city. The Horn of Plenty by her side symbolizes prosperity and wealth. Like in previous Allegories designs Lady Italia is accompanied by our, well known, personification of Germania. Women are standing close to each other with Germania’s hand on Italia’s shoulder – a symbol of friendship between cultures.

Reverse
According to the previous series 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’s why we’ve decided to create our own interpretation of its coat of arms. Its symbols and design are 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.

Germania Mint’s visualisation of Bicephalous eagle – a Roman mythology symbol associated with Janus,  god of all origins, guardian of doors, gates, passages and bridges, the patron of contracts and alliances. Heads facing opposite sides symbolize the past and the future.

Check pattern refers to wisdom and prudence – characteristics of every noble sovereign.

Gold ribbon with three flowers. Flowers represent determining values of a strong and independent nation – unity, integrity and freedom.

The wild boar symbol of mightiness was a very popular and respectful animal in Roman Empire. Legio I Italica, Legio X Fretensis and Legio XX Valeria Victrix are three of the most famous Roman legions with boar in their emblem.

The Coat of Arms is surrounded by the wreath of oak leaves. Wreath symbolizes loyalty, stability and national unity. In Mythology and ancient times only people who wielded enormous power – spirit, muscle or magic – were allowed to wear it.

All values presented in symbolism above, were respected by Germania and Italia.
