Overview

The obverse features an oak seedling (oak branch), symbolizing growth and stability, with the text 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' and the year '1964'. The reverse (not shown) depicts the numeral '1' between two ears of rye.

Historical significance

Minted by the Federal Republic of Germany during the economic miracle (Wirtschaftswunder) post-WWII. The oak motif is a traditional German symbol of strength and longevity. These coins remained in circulation until the introduction of the Euro in 2002.

Estimated value

$0.05 - $0.50 USD (highly dependent on mint mark and condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel core. Avoid cleaning with abrasive chemicals or rubbing, as this can strip the thin copper plating and damage the coin's numismatic value.
