The topic/country that was decided to base the banknotes off was Germany and most importantly the Bauhaus movement. If you imagine it in a hypothetical world, Germany has decided it wants to leave the European union and go independent again acting as a second unification since the 1990s. To celebrate the unification of an independent Germany, bank notes will be created to celebrate the Bauhaus movement as a piece of important history of Germany. To show to the world the importance off the movement and to celebrate the biggest achievements that came from the movement. Germany subsequently owes it to Bauhaus school after the Nazis shut it down in 1933, who knows how big the movement could’ve been if the school wasn't shut down.
Also Bauhaus is a great choice as they previously created banknotes for Germany even though they were never needed in the end. Its time to rebirth the movement and celebrate the arts and design culture of Germany, to show of its history in a proud and patriotic celebration. And what better way to design a banknote inspired by one of the biggest design movement in history.
