Description: THIS IS AN AUCTION FOR AN SOLD OUT WORLEXCLUSIVE EURO ORANGE POLYMER RING COIN TROPICAL ZONE PP MIRROR FINISH (SPIEGELGLANZ). LIMITED COLLECTORS EDITION: 300.000 pieces worldwide. Engrave Locations will be selected by random. On 26 April 2016, the German government decided to mint a €5 collectors' coin "Subtropical climate zone" with an orange polymer ring, to be issued in April 2018. This coin is the second in a five-part "Climate zones of the Earth" series, with one coin to be issued per year from 2017 to 2021. The €5 collectors' coin "Tropical climate zone", issued on 27 April 2017, was the first in this series. The picture side was designed by artist Patrick Niesel from Schwaig in the district of Nuremberger Land. The reverse side image, which will feature on all the coins in this series, was created by artist Stefanie Radtke from Leipzig. The jury explained their decision as follows: "This design is a convincing portrayal of the subtropics with their wet winters and Mediterranean climate. The flora and fauna typically found in this climate zone, such as domesticated goats and the shrubland which is shaped by their activities, are faithfully depicted. The orange ring surrounds a typical Mediterranean pasture with a view of the coastline and the sea. The centrally-positioned tree represents the many "umbrella-crowned" species prevalent in this climate zone. The artist has succeeded in replicating the narrative character of the first coin of the "Climate zones of the Earth" series – "Tropical climate zone" – and has seamlessly incorporated the reverse side image into the theme." The reverse features an eagle framed by the words "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND", the value and denomination, the year 2018, the twelve stars of Europe and the mint mark "A" (Berlin), "D" (Munich), "F" (Stuttgart), "G" (Karlsruhe) or "J" (Hamburg), depending on where the coin was minted. Its smooth edge is embossed with the inscription "KLIMAZONEN DER ERDE". The 5 euro coin "Subtropical zone" will consist of two different copper-nickel alloys and a translucent polymer ring. It will weigh 9 g and will be produced in both mint condition and with a proof-like finish. The mint condition coins will be brought into circulation at their face value (€5) by the Deutsche Bundesbank. The issue price of the collector quality coins with a proof-like finish will be higher than their nominal value. The German Sales Agency for Collectors' Coins informes the exact price and the specific ordering conditions. Source: Federal Ministry of FinanceThis has not yet been in the history of Coin Design: A coin, apart from the usual coinage that uses cutting-edge materials, will be officially presented at the Berlin World Money Fair at the booth of VfS. It is the world's first coin with an innovative polymer ring of high-quality, translucent plastic. The ring is colored depending on the mint in different shades of blue. Before it could ever go to motive and design, first had a plastic to be found which satisfies many requirements: heat and cold resistant, resistant to water, chemicals and UV radiation, resistant to high mechanical loads and yet be embossed. The polymer ring is thus the result of years of research with many parties - and by the way for the European Union to the development of new security features for coins. the-art material was developed eventually in cooperation with RWTH Aachen University by DWI - Leibniz Institute for Interactive Materials e.V. The bi-metal blanks are shaped by all five mints. To the innovative coin to provide an appropriate framework, the company Koziol, a leading manufacturer of design items in plastic, was entrusted with the design and production of a modern presentation box. Coin and presentation box form because of the colors and materials used in design a unit.
