Feature: The 175th anniversary of the Frankfurt Constitution (also known as the St Paul’s Church Constitution, which was the first attempt to create a unified German nation state.)
Description: The design features several thematic layers. In the foreground is a perspective depiction of St Paul’s Church with the representatives of the national constitutional assembly filing in. This overlays a rendering of the constitutional document and a quill, representing the outcome of the Frankfurt Parliament. Finally, the design is crowned by three female allegories – Unity, Justice and Freedom – and the tricolour flag of black, red and gold.
