Germany 2024 11 euro UEFA European Football Championship 2024
The coin is made of silver (alloy Ag 500). It weighs 14g, has a diameter of 30mm and will be made available both in mint condition and with a proof-like finish.
The picture side of the coin was designed by the artist Detlef Behr from Cologne. The reverse was designed by Berlin-based artist Lorenz Crössmann.
The picture side skilfully references the iconic roof architecture of Berlin’s Olympic Stadium, where the final of the tournament will be played. The focal point around which all else revolves is the image of a football, which almost seems to rise off the surface in three dimensions. This is set against a stylised playing field with its four corner flags. The black, red and gold elements are a reference to the national colours of the host country, Germany. The “one” and “zero” featured in the design could symbolise a match result – or the ten venues of the tournament. The design impresses with its exceptionally incisive, contemporary and clear visual language.
The reverse side features an eagle, the inscription “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND”, the value and denomination, the year 2024, the twelve stars of Europe, the letter “A” for the State Mint of Berlin and the inscription “SILBER 500”.
The coin’s smooth edge bears the inscription: “VEREINT IM HERZEN EUROPAS” (UNITED IN THE HEART OF EUROPE).
