2020 Germany 1-oz Gold Germania NGC PF69 First Releases

2020 Germania Release Proves Two Heads Are Better Than One

There’s something unique about the German spirit. As one historian described it, “The German is a bicephalous Janus; with one head he dreams and poetizes while with the other he thinks and executes.” It’s no wonder then that for centuries a two-headed bicephalous eagle has symbolized Germany and appeared on its coins.

Gold Commemorative Features Germania And Bicephalous

In 2020, that mythological bird returned to assume a role of high honor for the second year of Germany’s popular Germania Series. Struck in a full troy ounce of highly-pure 99.99% gold, the bicephalous eagle is depicted with its wings spread and talons extended while Germania, the female personification of Germany, extends her arm as a landing spot for the bird. The eagle’s heads face in opposite directions. One head is looking back on the past while the other head fixes its gaze on the future. Meanwhile, Germania is shown as a beautiful vibrant young woman striding forward with purpose and determination.

It’s a magnificent image that is further enhanced by the Germania Mint’s Coat of Arms that graces the medal’s reverse. Once again Germany’s iconic double-headed eagle appears with the immortal effigy shown clutching notched bolts and flanked with laurel sprigs. The intricate design patterns within the fields only adds to the piece’s already eye-pleasing appeal.

Low Limited Edition For These Nearly Flawless Proofs

These gold rounds have been graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in near-perfect Proof-69 (PF69) condition, a distinction that means these almost-flawless proofs showcase impressive full strikes and indistinguishable imperfections — well above and beyond the quality of the vast majority of medals in the series. In addition, NGC has further certified that each 2020 Germany One-Ounce Gold Germania available here is a First Releases (FR) proof, a designation that means they were received by NGC or an NGC-approved depository within the first 30 days of their release. Plus, each will be accompanied by its original mint packaging that consists of a custom wooden display box and a mint-issued Certificate of Authenticity.

Since just 100 of these immaculate one-ounce gold proofs will be struck for worldwide release, the time to bring 2020’s Gold Germania home to your collection is now before it’s too late and they’re all gone!

Germania has been the female personification of Germany since the mid-1800s. No longer the robust matronly image of two centuries ago, however, THIS Germania is a younger new-age warrior princess who won’t back down from anyone. She — and her two-headed eagle companion on the 2020 release — will make an awesome addition to any collection!
