2019

This commemorative coin issued by Germany marks the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus movement, one of the most influential schools of modern art, design, and architecture of the 20th century. The design features a stylized geometric composition inspired by Bauhaus principles—clarity, functionality, and harmony between art and technology. Architectural elements and linear forms reference iconic Bauhaus buildings and typography, while the minimalist aesthetic reflects the movement’s rejection of ornament in favor of rational design. The coin honors Bauhaus’s lasting impact on architecture, industrial design, graphic design, and modern visual culture worldwide.
