On 09.11.2016, the Federal Republic of Germany planned to mint a 5 Euro Collector's coin with a red polymer ring.
This "tri-material" coin issued by Germany on 27.04.2017, had the theme " Tropical Climate Zone". This coin is the first in a five-part series titled " Climate Zones of the earth" (2017 - 2021, one coin being issued every year) and is linked to the first innovative 5 Euro Coin "Planet Earth", (which marked a global premier with its translucent, coloured polymer ring in 2016).
The five coin series includes:
2017 "Tropical Climate Zone" - Red Polymer Ring
2018 "Sub-Tropical Climate Zone" - Orange " "
2019 "Temperate Climate Zone" - Green " "
2020 "Sub-polar Climate Zone" - Turquoise " "
2021 " Polar Climate Zone" - Violet " "
As with the coin issued in 2016, this 5 Euro Polymer Coin consisted of three components - outer/external metallic ring, an inner metallic core and an embossable red polymer ring. This coin was also the Germany's second ever 5 Euro coin (and the first one in this Series) to be issued by the country.

The Obverse and Reverse of the "Tri-material coin" placed against a background of a tropical island/zone
The red ring is partially translucent and is permeable to light. The ring has been inserted between the metal components and forms a permanent bond. At the same time, the ring evokes the coin's motif "Tropical Climate Zone" in a striking way.
The Obverse of the 5 Euro Coin shows a parrot's special bird's-eye view from above immersing the observer in the tropical zone along with the giant trees. The parrot is a symbol of the bio-diversity of the tropics.
These realistic elements are combined with a distinctive impression of a tropical zone with its perennially damp rain-forest. The red ring defines the transition into an airy open space which makes the coin gleam effectively.
The inscription on the lower periphery is - "TROPISCHE ZONE", highlighting the theme of the coin.
