<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2397923, member: 39&quot;]Today a new 5 euro coin was issued in Germany. Until last year we had €10 collector coins, now it&#039;s €5 and €20 instead. Both denominations are issued at face; the 20ers are silver, the fivers are ... cool. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>They continue the bimetallic concept that we know from the €1 and €2 coins but consist of three &quot;zones&quot;: The center and the outer part are separated by a blue polymer ring. Composition of the two Cu-Ni parts: Cu75Ni25 and Cu81Ni19. The colored ring comes in various shades of blue, depending on which of the five mints made the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>The theme of the piece, designed by Stefan Klein and Olaf Neumann, is the Blue Planet Earth, and that (Blauer Planet Erde) is also the edge inscription. The eagle side is based on a design by Alina Hoyer. Mintage of the regular &quot;at face&quot; version is 1.5 million; there will also be a surcharged proof like version with a mintage of 250,000.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]493523[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
