Unesco - Burg Shuri Frankreich Silber PP 10 Euro 2025

In the foreground, the woman in traditional dress is wearing a richly decorated kimono, typical of the traditional court clothing of the Kingdom of Ryukyu. This outfit is reminiscent of the clothes worn by the nobles or members of the royal family of the kingdom, of which Shuri was the political and cultural centre. The specific headdress was used for important ceremonies, such as royal weddings or state events. In the background, a detailed view of the left-hand side of Shuri Castle and a schematic view of the right-hand side to illustrate its construction/reconstruction. The reverse is common to all the coins in the UNESCO series for 2020. It depicts the globe with parallels and meridians on the left-hand side and inscriptions of major UNESCO World Heritage sites on the right-hand side. The inscriptions are engraved in stone, echoing the Rosetta Stone. The left-hand side of the globe is surrounded by the UNESCO logo and the words "World Heritage". The face value is inscribed on the left-hand side of the globe, blending in perfectly with the parallels and meridians
