Loriot would celebrate his 100th birthday in November 2023. A 20-euro collector’s coin is therefore to be released next year.
The federal government honors Vicco von Bülow (1923-2011) aka Loriot. As part of his 100th birthday, which the legendary humorist would have celebrated in November 2023, a 20-euro collector’s coin is to be released. This is reported by the Federal Ministry of Finance.
The face of the coin was designed by Studio Loriot and the Berlin State Mint. With the “Rosenkavalier” it shows one of Loriot’s best-known figures and also contains a colored element – the rose in green and red. The name of the honoree and his year of birth and death are also included. Fans will also find the inscription “Oh what” on the edge of the coin.
Coin appears in two minting qualities
The “100th birthday of Vicco v. Bülow (Loriot)” sterling silver coin weighs 18 grams, has a diameter of 32.5 millimeters and is scheduled to be released in September 2023. Two different embossing qualities are planned. The coin is to be issued in uncirculated quality at a nominal value of 20 euros. Mirror Shine is intended for collectors who can purchase the coin at a price higher than face value. Further details on this will be announced at a later date.
