Germany Will Mint 35‑Euro Silver Coins for Tamara Danz and Metropolis

The cabinet says the coins are meant to act as small collectible artworks that convey stories about the nation’s cultural identity.

Overview

  • The federal cabinet, which approved the decision Wednesday, ordered two silver 35‑Euro collector coins to be issued in 2027.
  • Both coins will carry a 35‑Euro face value and are intended as special collector pieces rather than everyday currency.
  • One coin will honor Tamara Danz, remembered as a leading GDR rock singer and frontwoman of the band Silly who died in 1996.
  • The other coin will mark the 100th anniversary of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis and highlight the film’s influence on special effects and visions of the machine‑human.
  • The Finance Ministry oversees roughly 10–12 annual commemorative issues and will announce design, mint and sales details through its normal process.
