The German Federal Republic’s Ministry of Finance and the Deutschland (German Mint) had brought out the first coin titled "Health Care" in a new Coin Series beginning in 2022 with the theme “In the Service of Society.” 

This Coin Series will highlight particular groups of people who are indispensable for those affected by emergencies regarding safety and health and also for the functioning in human society as a whole from disasters both natural and man-madeThe Series focusses on the people who are frontline responders and indispensable for the functioning of society as a whole.

Every coin design in the series and its specific focus will be represented by a particular colour for an occupational group.

For instance, the first coin included a polymer ring of dark turquoise green associated with the surgical scrubs worn by emergency medical personnel. 

The latest coin includes a red polymer ring signifying red fire engines.

After the 2022-dated coin highlighting "Health Care" (in the field of medicine), the 2023 Coin focusses on the "Fire Brigade", whose responsibility is far-reaching and includes much more than fighting fires. 

The Header/Banner shows the Reverse and Obverse of the 10 Euro Coin together with background images of a fire brigade team of fire-fighters in their line of duty trying to douse an enormous blaze.

About the Fire Brigade:

Whether combatting areas hit with torrential floods, forest fires, snow chaos, storm surge, or hurricanes, the fire brigade is on duty everywhere. 

While emergencies such as house fires, traffic accidents, or triggered smoke alarms are almost everyday occurrences, civil protection operations require special dedication. 

Fire brigades in the Federal Republic of Germany form the backbone of this civil protection. They provide a rapid response anywhere, work together in a spirit of partnership, and constructively contribute their skills.

Among other services, senior members of the fire brigade serve as operational commanders in municipalities, districts, and states during times of civil emergencies and disasters. 

The fire brigades in Germany are supported by a community of people who work full-time and on a voluntary basis, both in public and private sponsorship. 

A total of over 1.3 million people are active in fire brigades. These include volunteer fire brigades, professional fire brigades, factory fire brigades, and youth fire brigades.

The Coin:

    1. The German Mint and the Austrian mints bring out coins every year with several innovative themes. The German mint specializes in the tri-material coins with colored rings and the Austrian mint pioneered the Silver-Niobium coins both of which are extremely popular worldwide.
