About the coin: The 6th issue of the German 5 euro series is dedicated to the Green Cricket. This large insect of the grasshopper family, which lives in Central Europe, has a green color and can be found in meadows, gardens and fields. As a predatory insect, it feeds on other insects and different plants, making it an important part of the ecosystem. The characteristic chirping of grasshoppers is often heard in the warm season and is used by animals for communication, especially when looking for a mate.
