Overview

Historical significance

This coin represents the post-WWII economic strength of West Germany. 1975 was the first year the 5 Mark coin transitioned from silver to a copper-nickel 'Magnimat' composition due to rising silver prices and to prevent hoarding.

Estimated value

$3.00 - $6.00 USD (Circulated condition)

Care & preservation

Store in a cool, dry place inside a non-PVC coin holder. Avoid cleaning or polishing the coin, as this can destroy its numismatic value and surface luster.
