Comment
It looks that Krauze list the same coin under two different km# references.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, which marked the beginning of the end of the Cold War and the division of Germany. The coin's design features a stylized image of the Berlin Wall, with the words "Fall of Berlin Wall 1989" inscribed above it, and the year "2000" below. The coin's silver content and proof finish add to its collectibility and numismatic value.
