Modern-day Germany and Austria share very close cultural ties as a result of centuries of shared rule. When the Holy Roman Empire was formed during the early Middle Ages, both Germany and Austria fell under its rule. This continued through the dissolution of the empire and founding of the German Confederation. In fact, it wasn’t until 1871 when Prussia unified the German states to form the German Empire that the two weren’t under shared leadership.

The obverse of 2021 Germania The Allegories Austria & Germania Silver Rounds comes with an image of the two female allegories seated next to one another. Austria is featured on the left side of the design with a spear in her right hand. Germania is seated on the right with her left hand on the Reichsschwert. The two hold hands at the center of the design, a symbol of the peace and cultural connection of the two.
