Till Eulenspiegel — the medieval trickster figure whose pranks were first compiled in print around 1510 in a Low German chapbook — became the subject of this issue as part of Germany's ongoing commemorative series celebrating figures from German literary and cultural history. The character's name is almost certainly a vulgar pun, roughly translating to "wipe-arse," a detail the federal authorities presumably chose not to emphasize in their press materials.
The .999 silver plating over copper-nickel was the Bundesbank's cost-compromise for mid-tier commemoratives at this point in the series.
