Galia & Germania shatter the Roman Empire
Mintage 25.000 - Mint- Quality-Lenticular Capsule + Certificate
Galia and Germania is the 6th 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 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
According to the previous series, the 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 a Creative tion 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 the Bicephalous eagle – a Roman mythology symbol associated with Janus, god of all origins, guardian of doors, gates, passages and bridges, patron of contracts and alliances. Heads facing opposite sides symbolize the past and the future.
The check pattern refers to wisdom and prudence – characteristics of every noble sovereign.
The 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.

Germania Mint, inspired by the power of femininity, created an impressive series of coins – Allegories – to highlight the extraordinary figures of “Mothers of Nations”. The lead character of the series is a feminine personification of Germania, accompanied by the personifications of other countries. In the Western world, the first feminine impersonation of nations were usually majestic manifestations of values ??considered to characterize the communities of given countries or regions. Many of these visualizations came from the image of goddess Athena and took the Latin names of the ancient Roman provinces, such as Germania, Polonia, Britannia and Italia. For hundreds of years, for unknown reasons, women have been seen as the weaker sex. Often unnoticed and underestimated, women were forced to believe that they should obey men. Nevertheless, national incarnations and country names are mostly female. The country as a metaphor for home and family have always been identified with maternal protection, which provided security and a sense of community. And although the overwhelming majority is still mainly men who are world leaders, in times of wars and disasters people symbolically turn to the “Mother of the Nation” in search of safety and protection.

The Germania Mint
Germania Mint was established in 2018 thanks to Kurowski Group’s long-standing experience with thousands of international numismatic projects over the past decade. Initially as one of the original ideas, Germania Mint was the first in which Kurowski Group was fully responsible for all stages of its development – from the design and production of the coins and their packaging, to marketing activities, to sales and distribution.
The origins of the company date back to 1986, when Apolinary Kurowski – father of Szymon Kurowski (the owner of Germania Mint), established a numismatic store in Jelenia Góra, Poland. Since then, the family business has evolved into a 200-person company with a global reach. To date, the enterprise produces coin packaging and finishing for some 500 leading numismatic companies from around the world, including mints and central Banks.
