New 100 euro coins with literary motifs: A look at the planned series for collectors

According to a report by www.derwesten.de The well-known drama “Faust” has been gradually disappearing from school curricula in Germany for several years. To honor the importance of the literary work, the Federal Ministry of Finance has given the green light for a new 100 euro coin. This coin is part of a series called “Masterpieces of World Literature” and is designed by artist Michael Otto. From 2023 to 2030, new coins with special mintings reminiscent of well-known literary works are to be released annually. In addition to “Faust,” the themes include “The Broken Pitcher” by Heinrich von Kleist, “Memoirs of a Good-for-nothing” by Joseph von Eichendorff and “Buddenbrooks” by Thomas Mann. Collectors can purchase the first coin in the series as early as October 2023.

The new 100 euro coin is made of fine gold and is already being offered online at impressive prices. This special minting may have an impact on the coin collecting market and the financial industry. Demand for this coin may increase as collectors and investors are interested in limited edition and themed coins. This could lead to higher prices for the coin and impact the collector coin market.
