"Tropical climate zone"
The coin is the 1st in a five-piece series, "Climate zones of the Earth" (2017-21, one coin to be issued per year). The coin was designed by artist Stefanie Radtke, from Leipzig.
The coin consists of two different copper-nickel alloys and a translucent polymer ring. The coin weights 9 grams and is produced in both mint condition and with a proof-like finish. The mint condition coins were brought into circulation at their face value (€5) by the Deutsche Bundesbank on 27 April 2017. Two million coins were issued.
