Comment
Previously AKS# 832 and AKS# 532.Interesting fact
The 5 Mark coin featuring Heinrich von Kleist, issued in 1986 by the German Democratic Republic (GDR), was part of a series of coins honoring famous German writers and poets. The coin was designed by artist Günther Stüdemann and features a portrait of Kleist on the obverse, along with his name and the year of his birth and death. The reverse side of the coin depicts a scene from Kleist's most famous play, "The Prince of Homburg," and includes the coin's denomination and the GDR's national emblem. It's worth noting that the GDR was a socialist state that existed from 1949 to 1990, and this coin was issued during that time. The coin's design and the fact that it was issued by a socialist government may be of interest to collectors who specialize in coins from this time period or with this theme.
