East Germany 5 Marks 1969 BU

East Germany, formally known as the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was created out of the former Soviet Occupation Zone in October 1949. Some 20 years later in 1969, the authorities there issued this 5 Mark coin to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the new state. The obverse of the coin features the GDR emblem (hammer, protractor and a wreath of corn) with a surrounding legend of the country’s name in full. These coins all come in Brilliant Uncirculated condition.
