1440) On The Land ("An Land"): A 10 Euro Coin: The second "Tri-material" Coin in the Series titled "Air Moves" - with an outer ring, inner core and an embossable polymer ring: Innovative coin issued by the Federal Republic of Germany in 2020:
The Federal Government of Germany has released a 10 Euro Collector's coin titled "In The Air" being minted with a colourless plastic ring in 2020.
This coin is the second coin titled "An Land" (meaning "On The Land"), in which one coin is released every year from 2019 to 2021.
This follows the runaway success/popularity of the 5 Euro Coin titled "Planet Earth" (2016) and the five coin Series titled "Climate Zones of the Earth", (the series will continue from 2017 to 2021).
The 10 Euro Coin "On The Land" consists of two different copper-nickel alloys and a translucent plastic/polymer ring.
As with the earlier "tri-material coins, this 10 Euro Polymer Coin has three components - outer/external metallic ring, an inner metallic core and an embossable colourless polymer/plastic ring.
Polymer Ring is a serious Counterfeiting Security Device:
The polymer ring not only serves as a special effect feature, but also acts as a serious counterfeiting security device that was "invented" by the State Mint of Baden-Wuerttemburg and the Bavarian Central Mint.
The two mints used the polymer ring in 2016 in the 5 Euro Coin titled "Planet Earth" which won the prestigious "Coin Of The Year (COTY) Award - 2018, bringing Germany back onto the numismatic landscape after decades of a conservative coin emission policy.
