Comment
Formerly AKS# 815 and AKS# 515.Interesting fact
The 5 Mark (Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock) coin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is interesting because it features the portrait of a famous German poet, Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock, who was known for his contributions to German literature and his influential works such as "The Messiah" and "The Metamorphoses of the Gods". The coin was minted in 1978 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item. It is made of nickel brass and weighs 12.2 grams.
