Deutscher Adler 2026
Turn it over,and you read a song.
The eagle side bears EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT (unity and justice and freedom), the Germania side FÜR DAS DEUTSCHE VATERLAND (for the German fatherland). Together they are the first two lines of the German national anthem.
Eagle side: an eagle in flight against rays, around it EINIGKEIT UND RECHT UND FREIHEIT, the weight and the fineness
Heligoland, 26 August 1841
“Nothing but sky and sea”
In 1841, Germany was divided into almost 40 separate states. On Heligoland, then British, August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben walked alone on the cliff and wrote the “Song of the Germans”.
For the melody he chose Joseph Haydn’s 1797 setting of “Gott erhalte Franz den Kaiser” (God save Emperor Francis). Instead of God and emperor, the song was now about a united, free Germany.
He offered the song to his publisher Julius Campe for four louis d’or, that is, for four gold coins. Campe paid before it had even been recited to the end.
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit
für das deutsche Vaterland!
Hoffmann von Fallersleben, “Song of the Germans”, third verse: “Unity and justice and freedom for the German fatherland!”
In 1952 Federal President Theodor Heuss and Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer agreed that the third verse would be sung on official occasions. Of the poet, Heuss wrote: “Hoffmann von Fallersleben was a man of black, red and gold.”
In 1991, after reunification, Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker declared the third verse the national anthem in an exchange of letters with Federal Chancellor Helmut Kohl. Kohl called “Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit” a “triad”.
The same words appear on the edge of the German 2 euro coin.
Colours for unity and freedom
Where black, red and gold come from is not clearly documented. After 1815 they were traced back to the black uniforms with red piping and gold-coloured buttons of the Lützow Free Corps of 1813.
1832Hambach
Between 20,000 and 30,000 people came to the Hambach Festival, the largest political gathering in Germany up to that time. In the procession, a black, red and gold flag was carried, bearing the words “Deutschlands Wiedergeburt” (Germany’s rebirth).
1848Frankfurt
On 9 March the Federal Diet of the German Confederation in Frankfurt made black, red and gold the colours of the Confederation.
1949Basic Law
With one vote against, the Parliamentary Council chose the colours of the movement for unity and freedom. Article 22 of the Basic Law: “The federal flag shall be black, red and gold.”
The Germania side
Germania with helmet, spear and oak leaves
In 1848, a Germania almost five metres high, attributed to Philipp Veit and his workshop, hung above the speaker’s rostrum of the first German National Assembly in St Paul’s Church in Frankfurt.
She wears a wreath of oak leaves and holds a lance with the black, red and gold banner, while the sun rises behind her. Today the painting is in the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg.
The oak leaves, spear and rays on the coin recall this painting.
The 1 DM coin also bore two oak leaves, and today an oak twig appears on the German 1, 2 and 5 cent coins.
The eagle side
The eagle in flight
It spreads its wings wide and stretches its talons forward, while rays run out behind it from the centre of the coin. The plumage is worked down to each individual feather.
As a heraldic animal, the eagle goes back to the beginnings of the Holy Roman Empire; since 1950 the federal coat of arms has shown it in black on a golden-yellow ground. The eagle on this coin is freely designed, in flight rather than within a shield.

1/10 oz Silver German Eagle 2026 – German Values in the Purest Silver
What a masterpiece. The 1/10 oz German Eagle 2026 from Kettner Edelmetalle combines German tradition, the finest minting craftsmanship, and the timeless value of silver in a compact yet impressive coin. With a fineness of 999.9/1,000 and a weight of 3.11 grams, you hold a piece of precious metal history in your hands – minted for the year 2026 and delivered in Brilliant Uncirculated quality.
A Design That Gets Under Your Skin
The obverse of this extraordinary coin shows a majestic German eagle in flight. Its wings spread wide, every single feather crafted with breathtaking attention to detail – the eagle soars above a radiant background reminiscent of sun rays. The design is framed by the inscription "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit" ("Unity and Justice and Freedom"), the words of the German national anthem. Below it reads 1/10 oz Fine Silver 9999 as well as the inscription Perpetua Securitas – eternal security. A promise that silver has upheld for millennia.
The reverse surprises with an artistic depiction of Germania – a proud warrior in intricate armor, holding a spear, wearing an oak leaf wreath, and crowned with an enthroned eagle on her helmet. The inscription "Für das Deutsche Vaterland" ("For the German Fatherland") and the year 2026 complete this striking overall image. The face value of 1 dollar refers to the issuing country, Liberia.
Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit – these words, struck into the purest silver, make the German Eagle 2026 far more than just a bullion coin. It is a statement of conviction.

Why Choose 1/10 oz?
Not everyone wants to buy a full ounce right away. Sometimes it's the smaller denomination that makes all the difference. The 1/10 oz offers a low entry price and is ideally suited for gradually expanding an existing portfolio piece by piece. Especially in times of currency instability, silver in small units can serve as a medium of exchange – a quality that larger bars or coins simply cannot offer.
Compared to the classic 1 oz version of the German Eagle, the 1/10 oz is significantly more compact and flexible to use. For those looking to secure larger quantities of silver at once, however, a full ounce or silver bars are the better choice. Both approaches have their merit – what matters most is investing in physical precious metal in the first place.
For Collectors and Investors Alike
The German Eagle 2026 belongs to the "German Eagle" series and is manufactured in Germany. This combination makes it a true collector's item. Silver coins with such elaborate designs and a fineness of 999.9/1,000 are enjoying growing popularity – both among numismatists and strategic investors.
Silver as an inflation hedge and Crisis Protection
Silver is not just a precious metal – it is an industrial raw material with surging demand. Solar technology, electronics, medical technology: silver is needed everywhere. At the same time, supply is limited. This combination of rising demand and limited availability speaks for itself.
There is also a tax advantage that many investors appreciate: profits from the sale of silver are generally tax-free after a holding period of at least one year. An argument that speaks for itself.
