New Coin Issues

Germany Unveils Two New 2024 Commemoratives

The country has unveiled the designs for two new collector coins scheduled for issue next year, with the first a €20 silver coin commemorating the 300th birthday of philosopher Immanuel Kant, and the second a €50 gold coin named ‘Mobility’.

The former is scheduled to be issued from April 2024 in two embossing qualities, uncirculated and mirror-polished, and will be composed of sterling silver.

Designed by Czech artist Martin Dašek, the image side of the coin depicts the silhouette of Kant in the foreground with a sky full of stars as the backdrop. The dates of birth and death and name of the philosopher are inscribed at the bottom of the design. Inscribed at the top of the coin is an extract from one of Kant’s most famous remarks in German, ‘the starry heavens above me and the moral law within me’ which exemplifies key constructs of Kantian philosophy.
