2020 1-oz Silver Allegories — Germania & Italia Medal NGC MS70 First Releases

Germania Medal Series says “Viva l’Italia!” With 2021 Release

The Germania Mint’s series featuring its namesake Germania — Germany’s female personification similar to our Liberty or Great Britain’s Britannia — was released in low mintages and sold out at lightning speed. Now, the latest beautifully designed medal is here, and just 25,000 of these one-ounce pieces were struck!

A Gesture of Friendship Between Germany and Italy

This new medal is also just the third issue of a series called “Allegories.” This gorgeous piece not only features a youthful and vibrant Germania, but it pairs her with Italy’s impeccably dressed Italia who is standing by a table with an overflowing cornucopia. Germania’s hand rests gently on Italia’s shoulder in a gesture of solidarity and friendship. Struck in a full ounce of highly pure 99.99% fine silver, it’s a truly beautiful representation of the two nation’s long history of cooperation.

The cordial relations between Germany and Italy began long before the Italian Unification of 1871. In fact, German painter Johann Friedrich Overbeck’s famous neoclassic work, Italia und Germania that shows the two allegorical figures holding hands in a sign of friendship, was completed in 1828 — more than 40 years before Italy’s unification! Today, Italy’s top importing and exporting partner is Germany.

Like we said earlier, just 25,000 of these 2020 One-Ounce Silver Allegories — Germania & Italia have been struck for worldwide release and each one available here has been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in flawless Mint State-70 (MS70) condition, a distinction that means your perfectly-graded medal will have ZERO imperfections — showing all features and fields exactly as the engraver and mint intended.
