The obverse presents Germania seated on an ornate throne, wearing a crown and dressed in a corset and flowing skirt. She holds a sword upright in her right hand, its hilt resting near her lap, while her left hand rests on the throne’s armrest. Her long hair falls across her shoulders, and her gaze is direct and composed. To her lower left, a small eagle perches on the steps at her feet, while a second eagle stands on a post to her upper right. The architectural background features Gothic arched stonework, Celtic knotwork columns, and ivy climbing the stone pillars, creating a richly layered scene. GERMANIA 2026 is inscribed along the top arc, with 1/2 oz Cu 999 stamped within a cartouche on the left side of the design.
The reverse carries a double-headed eagle with wings fully spread, individual feathers rendered with fine, precise detail across each wing surface. The eagle’s chest bears an ornate heraldic shield. Lightning bolt motifs appear below each wing, and the composition is flanked on both sides by laurel branches curving up from the lower field. 1/2 MARK is stamped across the top and GERMANIA along the bottom rim.
