| Description : The central motif depicts the Brandenburg Gate crowned by
Victoria (goddess of victory) riding in a quadriga bringing peace to the city. In front are stones from "the wall" behind
which is bared wire symbolising oppression and confinement together with an olive branch symbolising peace. Inscribed on
the stones from the wall are the reason for commemoration "XXV ANNIVERSARIO DEL CROLLO DEL MURO DI BERLINO"
(25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall). On the right of the motif is the date "1989" marking the fall of
the Berlin wall and "2014" the year the coin was issued. At the top of the motif is "CITTÀ DEL VATICANO" (Vatican
City), and at the bottom is the initial "R", the mint mark of the Italian mint Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato
in Rome. The logos "G. TITOTTO" of the designer Gabriella Titotto and "C.M.INC." (INC. = Incisore / Engraver) of the
engraver Claudia Momoni appear on the left. |
