| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a female javelin thrower in dynamic mid-throw pose, her body fully extended with right arm raised and javelin poised for release, rendered in fine relief against a stylized background evoking the grandstand architecture of the Olympiastadion Berlin. A small olive branch motif appears in the lower right field. The curved legend 'IAAF LEICHTATHLETIK WM' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'BERLIN 2009' is inscribed in the lower field, commemorating the 12th IAAF World Championships in Athletics held in Berlin. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 2009 IAAF World Championships in Athletics held in Berlin — the city's first time hosting the event since the politically loaded 1936 Olympics. The German mint distributed production across all five federal mints that year, resulting in five distinct mint marks (A, D, F, G, J), a standard practice for German commemoratives that keeps any single facility from monopolizing collector demand.
