RE: My 2021 Coins: Allegories

in LeoFinance3 years ago

Ummm... the reverse of these three coins are in the last photo!
But just in case, here it is:

They are the same but sure is very pretty!
The description below is taken from Apmex:

The Crowned shield on the reverse bears many traditional meanings, precisely defined by heraldry:
Top left corner of the crest features the Germania Mint's Bicephalous eagle - a Roman mythology symbol associated with Janus, the god of all origins, guardian of doors, gates, passages and bridges, the patron of contracts and alliances. Heads facing the opposite symbolize the past and the future.
Right upper corner: decorated with a check pattern that refers to wisdom and prudence.
Left bottom corner: features three flowers on a ribbon. They hide three values determining a strong and independent nation - unity, integrity and freedom.
Right bottom corner: depicts a Wild Boar. A very popular and well-respected animal in the Roman Empire, symbolizing might and power. At least three famous Roman legions are known to have had a boar as their emblem: Legio I Italica, Legio X Fretensis and Legio XX Valeria Victrix.

So complex a crest!
