Feature: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern
Description: The coin is dedicated to the German state (Land) of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania. It is the second issuance in the second series of German 2-euro commemorative coins featuring the German states, or Länder. Each year, a coin pays tribute to one of the 16 Länder by depicting a significant building or landmark. The order of the states is based on the rotating presidency of the Bundesrat, which is one of the five permanent constitutional bodies of the Federal Republic of Germany and represents the interests of the Länder. The design shows the Königsstuhl, an iconic formation of chalk cliffs and beech forest located in Jasmund National Park on the island of Rügen. The cliffs are depicted from the perspective of the shoreline, thereby highlighting the monumentality of this unique natural landmark in a particularly effective manner. The beautifully detailed image provides scale through the combined rendering of sea, birdlife and humankind. The modern typography, in harmony with the flying seagull, is skilfully integrated into the relief. The upper half of the coin’s inner circle features the inscription ‘MECKLENBURG VORPOMMERN’, the year of issue ‘2024’, Germany’s issuing country code ‘D’ and, at the upper right, the letter ‘X’ as placeholder for the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’). The initials of the artist Michael Otto (from Rodenbach, Germany) are shown in the lower half of the inner circle. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European flag.

Feature: The 175th anniversary of the Frankfurt Constitution (also known as the St Paul’s Church Constitution, which was the first attempt to create a unified German nation state.)
Description: The design features several thematic layers. In the foreground is a perspective depiction of St Paul’s Church with the representatives of the national constitutional assembly filing in. This overlays a rendering of the constitutional document and a quill, representing the outcome of the Frankfurt Parliament. Finally, the design is crowned by three female allegories – Unity, Justice and Freedom – and the tricolour flag of black, red and gold. The vibrant three- dimensional relief evokes the timelessness of the basic democratic principles that were put down in writing for the first time and in a foundational way in the Frankfurt Constitution. The coin’s inner ring also features the inscription ‘PAULSKIRCHENVERFASSUNG 1849’ (‘St Paul’s Church Constitution 1849’) and, at the bottom, the year of issue ‘2024’, Germany’s issuing country code ‘D’, the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’), and the initials of the artist, Bodo Broschat from Berlin.

This year marks the 750th anniversary of the death of Saint Thomas Aquinas (Roccasecca 1225 ca - Fossanova 1274). The Vatican Mint dedicates the 2 euro bimetallic coin to the anniversary in the double version Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof and the 25 euro colour silver rectangular coin. On the reverse side of the 2 euro coin, artist Arianna Ciccone shows Saint Thomas Aquinas in the foreground wearing the habit of the Dominican Order to which he belonged. His left hand holds a tome of his most important work the “Summa Theologica” and the other hand a feather quill. On the Saint’s chest a shining sun stands out, a symbol of his great wisdom. Among the various titles he received, the one he is most widely known for is that of ‘Angelic Doctor,’ which we see quoted below and which celebrates his exceptional purity of soul and body. In the background on the left side are a lily, a symbol of chastity, and the Church of Saint Thomas in Roccasecca, the first religious building in the world made to honour Saint Thomas Aquinas, proclaimed a Saint on 18 July 1323 by Pope John XXII.
