Product Description

In the series coins with the theme Flora and Fauna Luxembourg has published a beautiful bimetal 5 Euro coin. The subject of this coin is Phragmites Australis. This is the Latin name for Reeds. Reeds can be 1 to 3 meters high. Reed is prominently present near water and prefers moist to very humid soil and can also stand in water. Reeds grow in both partial shade and full sun. On the face of the coin a reed plant is depicted. On this plant is a bird û the Reed Warbler. A Reed Warbler likes to stay in the Reeds. A Reed Warbler in Luxembourg is called a "klenge Jaizert" (the little scream!) The reed warbler is a lively bird, not shy and therefore good to see and hear. The Reed Warbler looks a bit like a sparrow. At the top of the coin is the text Phragmites Australis (Reed) while on the left side of the coin the value indication of 5 Euro. On the reverse of the coin Grand Duke Henri is portrayed looking to the right. Furthermore, the country name Lëtzebuerg and the year 2018 are shown vertically. The coin is pres ented in a beautiful luxurious package in which the coin is described in more detail. The circulation of this unique coin is only 3,000 copies!
