Germany - 10 Euro Silver, 800 years Dresden, 2006

The 800 years of Dresden are represented in this 10 Euro Silver coin with the historical buildings in connection with the river. Berlin Mint (mark A). Weight 18 grams. The artist has handled the theme of the “800 Years of Dresden” very well. In the realistic development of the motif, the historic buildings that characterize the urban landscape are shown in a very successful combination with the river. At the same time, the artist was able to include the city’s destruction and reconstruction, which are part of its legend, in the reflection in the river in the center of the coin. The German eagle on the value side is artistically successful and harmonizes with the image side.
