Product Description

On May 26 1967 the foundation of German Sports Aid was established. This private foundation sponsors sporting talents, top athletes and athletes in general. The financing comes from the German Sport Lottery, the proceeds of which directly benefits the athletes. Because it was exactly 50 years ago that this successful German sports foundation was established, Germany has issued a special 20 Euro coin. On the face of the coin are a number of running athletes depicted in a circle. In a circle around the athletes is the text 50 Jahre Deutsche Sporthilfe (50 Years German Sports Aid). Furthermore, the initials æAFÆ of the designer of the coin Adelheid Fuss are shown. The reverse of the coin is in perfect harmony with the front. Like the athletes on the front, one sees the 12 stars of Europe in the form of a circle. In the centre is the æFederal EagleÆ (the traditional symbol of German sovereignty). Additionally in the outer ring is the country name Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany), the year 2017 and the value of 20 Euro. The coin is struck in Munich, this is shown by the letter æDÆ which is on the left side of the coin. The motto of the coin is Leistung, Fairplay and Miteinander (achievement, fairplay and togetherness). These are the typical keywords of the Deutsche Sporthilfe (German Sports Aid).
