Germany

2016

This commemorative silver coin was issued by the Federal Republic of Germany in 2016 as part of the innovative “Climate Zones of the Earth” series. It features a unique polymer ring in blue, symbolizing the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, surrounding a silver core. One side displays a stylized view of planet Earth with continents rendered in a dotted pattern, while the reverse bears the German federal eagle, the denomination of 5 Euro, and the inscription “Bundesrepublik Deutschland.” The coin is notable for its advanced minting technology combining silver and polymer elements.
