The coin was inspired by one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most famous fairy tales. It tells the story of a little girl who, thanks to her courage, kindness, and perseverance, overcomes numerous hardships, becoming a symbol of hope and strength despite her apparent fragility. This issue combines high-quality silver with a unique artistic design that draws on classic children’s literature. The coin was created for fairy tale enthusiasts, collectors of culturally inspired issues, and those seeking limited-edition pieces with exceptional aesthetic appeal.
The design captivates with its fairy-tale atmosphere and rich detail. The composition was crafted to convey the delicacy of the main character and the magical atmosphere of the story. The obverse features the issuer’s official coat of arms along with elements identifying the country, the year of issue, and the face value. The overall design is elegant and harmonious. The reverse depicts a scene inspired by the fairy tale of Thumbelina, showing the main character in the cozy interior of a field mouse’s burrow. The composition is complemented by numerous elements of everyday life, such as a bread oven, baskets of provisions, mushrooms, ears of corn, and other details that create a warm, fairy-tale atmosphere. The carefully crafted relief, combined with selective coloring, emphasizes the narrative character of the depiction and lends the entire scene exceptional depth and decorative appeal.
The coin is inspired by the fairy tale “Thumbelina,” published by Hans Christian Andersen in 1835. The story quickly gained popularity around the world and remains one of the Danish author’s most recognizable tales to this day.
The special was produced to celebrate the timeless values found in Andersen’s works—courage, kindness, and faith that dreams can come true. It also pays tribute to classic children’s literature, which has inspired readers around the world for generations.
