2023 The Allegories – Galia & Germania 5oz Silver Coin

Galia and Germania is the sixth and final coin in the Allegories series, which will reach collectors in 2023. The series depicts personifications of countries from around the world in the form of beautiful, voluptuous and strong women. This year’s coin, symbolising victory over the occupying forces, is intended to bring hope and solace.

Galia and Germania share a common history of being inhabited by other tribes and confronting the Roman Empire.

The Allegories coins are created in one diameter of 38.61 mm and four different heights and weights, from 3 mm for the 1 oz coin to 25.85 mm for 10 oz coin, which is exceptional not only because of its thickness the blanks, from which it has been minted, were processed manually.

DESIGN

The obverse of the coin depicts the personifications of Galia and Germania, shown as young and beautiful women. They stand together, joining their hands as a sign of victory. Their swords are sheathed after the battle and the debris of the defeated Roman Empire lies beneath their feet.

In the artistic vision of the Germania Mint project, Galia is clad in a Roman breastplate and sandals that indicate the intermingling of cultures, enforced by the need to cooperate with the occupying power. In her hand she wields a Gaulish spear and on her head is a distinctive Gaulish diadem with wings.

Germania’s head is adorned with an oak branch – a tree that has accompanied her since the beginning of the series. In her hand, she holds a shield with the image of a two-headed eagle.

Also features the inscription “ALLEGORIES” as well as the weight and fineness.

The reverse features the Germania Coat of Arms as long side the 2023 year-date, “Germania” inscription and 25 mark denomination.

PRESENTATION

Each 2023 Galia & Germania 5oz silver coin is presented in a protective capsule and is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity. Each 5oz coin and certificate of authenticity is provided in Germania Mint Allegories themed packaging with Galia and Germania on the cover.

ABOUT GERMANIA MINT

Germania Mint is a private mint known for producing high-quality collectible coins, rounds, and bars with unique designs. The mint is located in Poland, and although it's named "Germania Mint," it is not actually a state mint of Germany. The name is derived from the historical and mythological concept of Germania, a term used by the Romans to describe the geographical region that is now Germany.

Germania Mint was established in 2018, and it quickly gained recognition in the numismatic community for its attention to detail and innovative designs. One of the key features of the mint is its focus on quality and craftsmanship, often using high-quality metals and special minting techniques to create products that appeal to collectors and investors alike.

Their products often feature symbolic and historical themes, often rooted in European history and mythology. For example, some of their series include representations of allegorical figures, historical events, and mythical stories. These themes, combined with the high quality of their products, have helped Germania Mint build a strong reputation in the numismatic world.

It's important to note that while Germania Mint draws on historical and cultural themes from the region of Germany and broader Europe, it operates independently of any state minting institution and is considered a private entity in the coin-collecting market.

Swan Bullion Company is proud to be an authorised distributor for both Germania Mint's bullion and numismatic products.
