10 Euro Coin Series
Whether to convey feelings of love, desire and friendship, congratulations and condolence, declarations of intent and even forbidden and unspeakable things, flowers have been used as a form of language throughout recorded history, each country and culture with its own version.
The Language of Flowers brings this age-old custom back to life and discusses the meanings, folklore, properties and uses of seven well-known flowers.
The messages conveyed by those flowers are inspirational, so too is the technology used to bring nature to life on the coins.
None of the principal flower images in the series is based on a drawing or illustration: the starting point of every coin design is a real flower grown in the garden, which is then pressed using a special technique that captures the flower in its natural state.
Opening with the rose, the series continues with the dandelion, marigold, forget-me-not, chamomile, peony and violet.
Comes in the original collector case of this series with the original book of the series "Language of Flowers" in German language.
Made of top-quality reinforced card, with flowers delicately embossed on the lid, The Language of Flowers collector case provides the perfect environment in which to present and securely store all seven Proof quality coins in the series along with their respective certificates.
