The German government has decided to mint a €5 collectors’ coin entitled “Banded demoiselle”, to be issed at 9 November 2023. It is the fifth coin issued as part of the “Wonderful world of insects” series, which will see a total of nine coins with partially coloured motifs issued over the period 2022-24. The series is intended to bring into focus – especially in light of current developments (insect extinction) – a special group of animals that make up a significant part of our natural heritage.
The €5 collectors’ coin “Banded demoiselle” is made of a cupronickel alloy. It weighs 9.68 g, measures 27.25 mm in diameter and will be available both in mint condition and with a proof-like finish. The mint condition coins will be brought into circulation at their face value (€5). The collector quality coins with a proof-like finish will be higher than their face value and will be issued by the Münze Deutschland (Germany’s official sales agency for collector coins).
The coin was designed by Detlef Behr, an artist based in Cologne (picture side), and Andre Witting, a Berlin-based artist (reverse).
The reverse, which will be used for all coins in the series, features an eagle, the words “BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND”, the value and denomination, the year 2023, the twelve stars of Europe and the letter “J” for the State Mint of Hamburg.
Its smooth edge is engraved with the inscription: “WUNDERWELT INSEKTEN” (WONDERFUL WORLD OF INSECTS)

The Danube salmon or huchen (Hucho hucho) is endemic to the Danube basin and is the only native salmonid species in Slovakia. This predatory fish, the largest European salmonid, can grow up to around 150 cm in length, weigh more than 50 kg, and have a lifespan exceeding 15 years. Its body is torpedo-shaped, with a large head and a terminal mouth extending beyond the back edge of the eye. An adipose fin is located between the caudal and dorsal fins. Coloration ranges from grey-green to reddish-brown, with dark spots. Juveniles are lighter in colour with dark stripes along the sides of the body. The Danube salmon inhabits fast-flowing submontane rivers with cold, well-oxygenated water. When young, it feeds on invertebrates and smaller fish; as an adult, its diet consists mostly of fish. Spawning occurs between March and April, following upstream migration. The female uses her tail to make a shallow depression (redd) in the gravel riverbed, where the eggs are laid and fertilised. Juveniles remain in shallower currents or smaller tributaries, while older individuals occupy deeper river sections. In Slovakia, the Danube salmon occurs in the foothill reaches of the Hron, Váh, Turiec, and Orava rivers, as well as in the Danube River itself, and has been introduced into the Poprad and the Dunajec rivers.
The Danube salmon is an endangered species of European conservation importance. It is threatened primarily by river impoundment and resulting migration barriers, as well as by water pollution and other environmental changes. Fishing is permitted only under strict conditions and requires a special licence.
Obverse:
The obverse depicts a Danube salmon in its natural habitat, preying on a smaller fish just below the river surface. The scene is complemented by aquatic plants and a pebbled riverbed. Above the waterline is the name of the issuing country ‘SLOVAKIA’ and the year of issuance ‘2025’. At the top of the field is the Slovak coat of arms, positioned between the coin’s denomination ‘5’ and currency ‘EURO’. At the right edge is the mint mark of the Kremnica Mint (Mincovňa Kremnica), consisting of the letters ‘MK’ between two dies.
Reverse:
The reverse design is divided in half by the surface of a river, with a mountain landscape above and two Danube salmon below. On the right side of the water’s surface is the species’ scientific name ‘HUCHO HUCHO’, and below it, across the width of the field, is the Slovak name ‘HLAVÁTKA PODUNAJSKÁ’. The fish are shown swimming above a pebbled riverbed with aquatic plants on the left. At the right edge are the stylised initials ‘TL’ of the coin’s designer, Tomáš Lamač.
