Description
The German Federal Republic’s Ministry of Finance and Münze Deutschland have started 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 second coin in the series focuses on a group whose wide-ranging responsibilities are much more than fighting fires and has a polymer ring in the typical colour of the fire service.
