Comment
Previously AKS# 790 and AKS# 490.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1989, which was the same year that the Berlin Wall, which had divided East and West Germany since 1961, was torn down. This coin commemorates the 40th anniversary of the establishment of the East German government, but it was issued just a few months before the fall of the Wall, which marked the beginning of the end of the East German regime.
