Germany €2 50º anniv. genuflessione di Varsavia 2020 — Value and Rarity

The 2020 will also see the release of the commemorative coin dedicated to the 50th anniversary of the kneeling in Warsaw. This spontaneous gesture was made on December 7, 1970 by Chancellor Willy Brandt during his visit to the Monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto located in Warsaw, Poland. (Willy Brandt was in Poland for the signing of the Warsaw Treaty). Issued on 10/08/2020.

A realistic, almost photographic representation of this painful historical moment was designed by the author “Bodo Broschat”, who won the competition for these 2 Euro Commemorative coins Germany 2020.

On the Obverse of the 2 Euro Germany 2020, or National Side, the depiction of the kneeling is shown in three-quarters view with a seven-branched candelabrum prominently featured, one of the two candelabra present on either side of the “Monument to the Heroes of the Ghetto” which we see represented at the top of the steps on the right. Between the first and second steps, a commemorative flower crown is also depicted with the state symbol D of Germany below it.

At the top left, the inscription in a semicircle 50 JAHRE KNIEFALL starts from the candelabrum, and below the tips of the shoes and the coat, the inscription VON WARSCHAU is engraved. The term Kniefall von Warschau refers to the gesture of humility and penance by Willy Brandt, Chancellor of West Germany, towards the victims of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. Also on the left, the mint year 2020 and the mint mark symbol A/D/F/G/J are shown.
