Description
The German Federal Republic’s Ministry of Finance and Münze Deutschland have unveiled the first coin in a new five-part series with the theme “In the Service of Society”, which would be issued every year over the period 2022-26. The series brings into focus the particular significance of groups of professions that are essential to the functioning of our society and the lives of every one of us. It is an expression of respect and appreciation for these people who invariably act in the interests of the common good. The coins in the series will feature a polymer ring in a colour that is characteristic of the respective occupational group.
The first coin in the series focuses on the service of care in the community, from nursing to at-home care and paramedics and has a dark turquoise green ring in what is associated with the surgical scrubs worn by emergency medical personnel.
Issue date: 12 May 2022
