⁣⁢Ninth coin in the series dedicated to colorful creatures. This series of 12 coins featuring animals will be issued at a rate of one coin per quarter during the years 2016 to 2019. Partially colored, these coins have the unique feature of being luminescent in the dark; like some nocturnal species, the animals depicted on these twelve coins become active at night, creating a light effect.⁤⁣

⁣⁢- The inner part of the coin depicts a frog on a reed stem with a swamp, the frog's natural habitat, in the background. At the bottom, the inscription "FROSCH" (frog) and the year 2018.⁤⁣
