Honey Money

In December, Central Bank of Luxembourg issued a collectors’ €5 coin commemorating the European honeybee (Apis mellifera).

The coin is a part of ‘Fauna and Flora in Luxembourg’ series which started in 2009.

The coin is made of Nordic gold and silver, but unfortunately it cannot be acquired for its face value.

A total of 30,000 were minted in Utrecht and the going rate seems to be about €60 complete with accompanying booklet and presentation case.
