In September 2019, the Federal Republic of Germany will be issuing its third polymer 5 Euro Coin with the theme "Temperate Climate Zone" with a green polymer ring.

This coin will be the third in a five-part "Climate Zones of the Earth" Coin Series, with one coin being issued every year from 2017 to 2021. The first 5 Euro Collector's coin with the theme "Tropical Climate Zone" was issued on 27.04.2017 and the second coin titled " Sub-Tropical Climate Zone" was issued on 26.04.2018.

Like the first two coins in this innovative Coin Series, this coin too is linked to the very first innovative 5 Euro Coin titled "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 earlier coin, this 5 Euro Polymer Coin consists of three components - outer/external metallic ring, an inner metallic core and an embossable green ring.
The Reverse and Obverse of the Tri-material "Temperate Climate Zone" Coin

The Green 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 "GEMASSIGTE ZONE" (meaning "Temperate Climate Zone") on the lower periphery in a striking way.

The Obverse of the 5 Euro coin represents the development of the cultural landscape, which defines the temperate climate zone, by depicting a stylised meadow, including the forest edge in a well-defined manner.

The hare at the centre of the coin is a typical representative of open landscapes in the temperate climate zones. The change of seasons, which is also typical of this climate zone, is illustrated in the form of the autumnal oak branch. The silhouette describes the mixed deciduous forest that is characteristic of both the landscape and the climate zone.

The Reverse of the 5 Euro Coin shows the German Eagle emblem, the country name "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" (in German) on the lower periphery, face value "5 EURO" on the upper periphery, the12 stars of the European Union (EU), representing the countries which had initially joined the EU and the year of issue "2019" below the Eagle emblem.

The coin will be legal tender in the Federal republic of Germany.

The specifications of this coin are:

Year of issue: 2019; Coin Quality: Brilliant Uncirculated and Proof; Metal Composition: Copper, Nickel, Polymer; Diameter/Size: 27.25 mm; Weight: 9.00 grams; Minted by and Mint Mark: Berlin (A), Munich (D), Stuttgart (F), Karlsruhe (G), Hamburg (J). Each of the five German mints will strike a version of the Polymer ring with a different shade of green; Edge Inscription: The smooth rim is embossed with the inscription "KLIMAZONEN DER ERDE" (in German) - translating to "Climate Zones of Earth"; Mintage: 300,000 pieces (Proof) and 2000,000 pieces (BU); Obverse designer: Peter Lasch; Reverse designer: Stefanie Radtke.


The theme of the 2020 coin is " Sub-polar Climate Zone".
