100 Years of Women's Suffrage - Germany / Federal Republic of Germany 2019 - 70 Euro Cent

During the revolution in November 1918, the Council of People's Representatives made a public appeal to the German people: "From now on, all elections to public bodies are based on the same, secret, direct, universal suffrage for all [...] at least 20 years to perform old male and female persons.
