This is the first release in a new series, “Wonderful world of insects”, which will see a total of nine coins with partially colored designs issued in the period 2022-24.

The obverse shows a diverse habitat with water, land and air, as well as various insects that enliven this space. The delicate coloring combined with the portrayal of flora and fauna brings the habitat rather than individual insects visually to the fore. The word “Insektenreich” (Insect kingdom) completset in the botthe design.
