50 Years German Mark

Now I've finally found some time to show you another cool coin. This piece was gifted to me by my girlfriend's grandfather last week.

End of an Era

This coin commemorates the 50th anniversary of the German mark in the year 1998. The German mark started in the year 1948 and ended just four years after this coin was minted, which makes this coin a fascinating piece of history. The obverse shows the commemorative date and almost every design used on the one, two and five mark coins.

The coin itself was minted on a sterling silver round, which is special in mark coins. Because usually the commemorative mark coins were all minted on 625 silver.

10 Mark on a 1/2 ounce of silver

After turning this coin around we are greeted with its denomination of 10 marks and a custom German eagle design. On the left side of the eagle the mint mark of Stuttgart F is shown.

That is, indeed, a very cool coin!!! So much detail on the obverse! Thanks for sharing, @bauloewe!

You're welcome :) And that's true. They packed all the designs into the obverse without overcrowding it :D

Hey, gern geschehen :)

Sry, dass ich so spät antworte, irgendwie kommen die notifications von partiko nie durch.

Jedenfalls, der Bot wurde auf ca 10k Blogeinträgen trainiert hochwertige/interessante Texte zu erkennen. (50% von den Einträgen waren ausgewählt von großen Kuratornetzwerken die andere Hälfte nicht). Der Bot wählt dabei nach Kriterien wie Themen im Text, Wortartenverteilung, HTML Strukturen und Lesbarkeit des Textes etc aus ob ein Blogeintrag ähnlich ist wie ein Text welcher von Curie, C-cubed usw ausgewählt wurde. Wenn die festgestellte Übereinstimmung hoch genug ist, dann upvoted und resteemed der bot ihn.
