Comment
Previously AKS# 806 and AKS# 506.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of the Brandenburg Gate, which is a symbol of Berlin and German history, on one side, and the coat of arms of the German Democratic Republic on the other. This coin was minted during a time when Germany was still divided, and the Brandenburg Gate was a powerful symbol of unity and hope for a reunified Germany.
