This commemorative 2 euro from Germany honors the 175th Anniversary of the Frankfurt Constitution.
Hamburg mint mark (J) is pictured, but Karlsruhe (G) mint mark will be delivered.
The Frankfurt Constitution, which was adopted by the National Assembly in the Paulskirche on 27 March 1849, was the first attempt to establish a nationwide democratic constitution for Germany.
The foreground of the obverse shows the Paulskirche memorial site from a unique visual perspective, watching the representatives of the constituent National Assembly file into the church. Behind this is the paper upon which the Constitution is written and a quill pen, representing the outcome achieved by the Frankfurt Parliament. The image is crowned by three female allegories: Unity, Justice and Freedom, and the black, red and gold tricolour flag of Germany. The design with its dynamic and lively relief intrigues the onlooker, capturing the timeless nature of the basic democratic principles that were laid down for the first time in this defining moment.
The European side corresponds to the common reverse side of the regular issue €2 coin in circulation since 2007, depicting a map of Europe without national borders.
