Comment
Previously AKS# 843 and AKS# 543.Interesting fact
The 5 Mark coin featuring the Katharinenkirche (St. Catherine's Church) in the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was minted in 1989, just a year before the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany. It was part of a series of commemorative coins issued by the GDR to celebrate important cultural and historical landmarks in the country. Despite being a non-circulating coin, it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists and those interested in the history of Germany.
