One interesting fact about the Buchenwald Memorial coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp, which took place on April 11, 1945. The coin features an image of a prisoner being freed from the camp's gates, symbolizing the liberation of the camp and the end of the atrocities that took place there during World War II.
