Le revers montre l'église de la garnison prussienne, à Potsdam, où s'est tenue la "Journée de Potsdam", cérémonie de propagande nazie qui a eu lieu le 21 mars 1933 et qui avait pour but de solenniser l'ouverture de la session du nouveau Reichstag par le président du Reich Paul von Hindenburg et le nouveau chancelier proposé par ce dernier, Adolf Hitler.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of significant political and economic change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1934, just one year after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power in Germany. The coin's design, which features the Potsdam Garrison Church, was likely chosen as a way to promote the Nazi regime's ideology of military strength and national pride. Additionally, the fact that the coin was made of silver (.900) and weighs 13.88g suggests that it was intended to be a high-quality, collectible coin, rather than a widely circulating currency.
