| Reverse description | A bold left-facing bust of the Romantic composer Robert Schumann dominates the central field, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair falling to the nape of the neck. The legend 200. GEBURTSTAG DES KOMPONISTEN curves along the upper border, commemorating the 200th anniversary of his birth. The name ROBERT SCHUMANN is inscribed along the lower arc in prominent lettering. The designer's initials CH appear discreetly in the lower right field. The overall composition conveys a dignified, classical portrait aesthetic consistent with German commemorative coinage of the period. |

Issued on the bicentennial of Schumann's birth, this coin belongs to Germany's long-running commemorative euro silver program, which by 2010 had grown predictable enough that individual releases attracted little secondary market attention at issue. Schumann spent the final two years of his life in a psychiatric facility in Endenich, having committed himself in February 1854 after a breakdown — a biographical detail the program's centennial timing inevitably glosses over.
