In the year 1517 Martin Luther proclaimed his 95 statements. This was the beginning of the Reformation which influenced politics, religion and culture. To commemorate the reform that took place 500 years ago, Germany has issued a special Euro 20 coin. On the face of the coin is an image of Martin Luther according to a painting painted by Lucas Cranach. On the right side of the coin, a fragment of one of Luthers 95 statements is shown. On the left side of the coin the text 500 Jahre Reformation. The reverse of the coin shows the Bundesadler (The German Eagle). In addition the 12 stars of Europe with the value of 20 Euro are printed. On the right side of the coin is the country name Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germay). At the top of the coin is the year 2017 with the mint letter A which represents the Berlin mint. Around the edge of the coin are Luther's famous words: Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise (in German) are printed.
