| Reverse description | The reverse features a striking split-composition design commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. The left half is rendered in matte silver relief, depicting the Berlin Wall with the Brandenburg Gate in an engraved, monochrome style under a cloudy sky, representing the era of division. The right half transitions into full color, showing the same Brandenburg Gate illuminated in gold and blue under a clear evening sky, symbolizing freedom and reunification. The title 'The Fall of the Wall' is inscribed in stylized lettering across the upper field, with the dates 1989 and 2009 flanking a central bezel-set insert of an actual fragment of the Berlin Wall. An extended commemorative legend encircles the design along the rim, with BERLIN'S WALL WAS TORN DOWN DURING THE NIGHT OF THURSDAY 9TH NOVEMBER 1989, LEADING TO HOPEFUL THOUGHTS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE WORLD, AND TO A NEW ERA OF CONFIDENCE, THAT EVERYTHING CAN CHANGE, NOT ONLY IN inscribed continuously around the periphery. |
