Depicts a red mason bee, surrounded by the inscription "Red mason bee” below, with the engraver's initials on the left.

The red mason bee, which resembles a small bumblebee, is a sign of springtime. Once we spot this furry wild bee, we can rest assured that winter frost has passed. It is one of 700 species of wild bees in Central Europe and plays a vital role as a pollinator of wild and cultivated plants. The design of the insect on the coin motif is captivating and vivid, and is expertly enhanced by the use of colour

Osmia bicornis (synonym Osmia rufa) is a species of mason bee, and is known as the red mason bee due to its covering of dense gingery hair. It is a solitary bee that nests in holes or stems and is polylectic, meaning it forages pollen from various different flowering plants. These bees can be seen aggregating together and nests in preexisting hollows, choosing not to excavate their own.
