Comment
Previously AKS# 774 and AKS# 474.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a soldier in front of the Brandenburg Gate, which is a symbol of Berlin and German history. The coin was minted in 1981 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the National People's Army, the military of the German Democratic Republic. The use of nickel brass in the coin's composition gives it a distinctive golden color and makes it stand out from other coins. Additionally, the coin's relatively low weight of 12 grams makes it easy to handle and transport. Overall, this coin is a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history that highlights the military and cultural heritage of Germany.
