Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of a building that is no longer standing. The coin's reverse side depicts the Alte Oper (Old Opera House) in Offenbach am Main, which was demolished in 1964 to make way for a new building. This coin serves as a reminder of the city's history and the changes that have taken place over time.
