Series2 Euro, Germany — 2020, West German Chancellor Willy Brandt

Features the West German Chancellor Willy Brandt kneeling in humility before the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in Warsaw. Inscriptions: “50 JAHRE KNIEFALL” on the upper left and “VON WARSCHAU” at the bottom. The year “2020” and the country code “D” (Deutschland) are placed on the left side, with a menorah on the lower left. The designer’s initials “Ch” (Bodo Broschat) are visible near the upper part of the monument.

Reverse (standard EU side) — features the numeral “2 EURO” with the EU map and 12 stars.

This is Germany’s commemorative 2 euro coin issued in 2020 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Warsaw Genuflection (Kniefall von Warschau). The spontaneous gesture by Chancellor Willy Brandt on December 7, 1970, became a powerful historical symbol of repentance, humility, and reconciliation between Germany and Eastern Europe after the atrocities of World War II.
