| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a scene from the Brothers Grimm fairy tale 'Sleeping Beauty' (Dornröschen), showing the princess asleep in a chair, her head tilted to one side and arms resting loosely, surrounded by flowering rose briar bushes rendered in stylized relief on both sides of the composition. A decorative serpentine motif appears in the lower field. The engraver's initials 'MD' (Marianne Dietz) are visible in the lower left field. The legend 'DORNRÖSCHEN' arcs along the upper periphery and 'GRIMMS MÄRCHEN' along the lower periphery in Latin script. |

| Additional information |
Part of Germany's long-running fairy tale series issued under the collector program administered by the Federal Finance Ministry, this copper-nickel version was struck alongside a bimetallic edition featuring the same design — the bimetallic carrying a polymer ring that made it the first German coin of that type. The copper-nickel issue was sold exclusively through the Bundesbank and select coin dealers rather than circulated, which accounts for the near-universal mint state of surviving examples.
The polymer-ring bimetallic of this same issue caused enough production complications at the minting facilities that delivery timelines slipped into mid-year.
