Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1975 to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance formed in 1955 between several communist states in Eastern Europe, including the German Democratic Republic (GDR). The coin's design features the emblem of the Warsaw Pact, which includes a stylized image of a shield and a laurel wreath, surrounded by the inscription "30 Jahre Warschauer Pakt" (30 Years of the Warsaw Pact). The coin's mintage was limited to 1 million pieces, making it a relatively rare and collectible item.
