3816) "Immanuel Kant", (22 April 1724 – 12 February 1804), person and work of the Königsberg philosopher. Federal Republic of Germany: 300th Birth Anniversary (1774-2024): A 20 Euro collector coin issued by the Hamburg Mint (J) Mint Mark: Date/Year of Coin issue: 11.04.2024:
This 20 Euro Collector's Coin issued on the ‘300th birthday of Immanuel Kant’ honours the person and work of the Königsberg philosopher.
Kant dedicated his entire life to his work: he remained a bachelor, never travelled and turned down all invitations and appointments to other places.
He came from a respectable family of craftsmen, but they became impoverished during his childhood. Scholarships and the support of an uncle enabled him to attend grammar school and study at the ‘Albertina’, Königsberg University.
After graduating, he initially worked as a tutor before returning to the University of Königsberg in 1755.
He lectured there continuously for over 40 years, his lectures covering a wide range of subjects from logic and metaphysics, physical geography, mineralogy and practical philosophy to ethics, natural law and pedagogy.
However, Kant seems to have been anything but a cerebral theorist: he was described as a fun-loving person and a brilliant entertainer, won money playing billiards and cards and socialised in the distinguished circles of Königsberg society.
He changed his lifestyle after his 40th birthday, probably triggered by the death of a friend. He went out less and subjected his life to strict rules.
For example, he got up at 5 a.m. every day in order to triggered by the death of a friend, from his 40th birthday. He went out less and subjected his life to strict rules. For example, he got up at 5 a.m. every day to start work. Nevertheless, he remained a sociable person.
In 1770, he finally received the professorship for logic and metaphysics at Königsberg University, having applied for it unsuccessfully since 1756.
After a ‘decade of silence’, during which he published nothing apart from occasional writings, he published ground-breaking works from 1781 onwards, the first of which was to usher in a new era in the history of philosophy: the ‘Critique of Pure Reason’.
This was followed by the famous essay ‘Answering the Question: What is Enlightenment?’ (1784), the ‘Grundlegung zur Metaphysik der Sitten’ (1785), in which the categorical imperative is formulated for the first time, its detailed justification in the ‘Kritik der praktischen Vernunft’ (1788) and the ‘Kritik der Urteilskraft’ (1790).
Description Coin:
The power and originality of the philosopher is conveyed
in an outstanding way by the design on the 20 euro collector's coin.
On the Reverse of the 20 Euro Silver Coin, the designer Martin Dašek from Staré Hradiště (CZ) combines the silhouette of the
philosopher, based on contemporary silhouettes, with a starry firmament and the
quote "The starry sky above me and the moral law within me".
He has thus
vividly placed two essential aspects of Kant's thought at the centre: the
traceability of the natural order to the structures of the human mind and the
self-legislation of human reason in the moral law.
The elegant design of the Eagle on the Obverse side of the 20 Euro Coin is analogous to the portrait on the portrait on the obverse is also positioned in the centre, surrounded by the European stars.
The peripheral inscriptions are - "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND. 20 EURO. 2025." Also inscribed are - "J" Mint mark of the Hanburg Mint, and "SILBER 925".
