5 Deutsche Mark (Heuss Edition)

Brief Description

The obverse features the Federal Eagle (Bundesadler) facing left with the year 1975 and the mint mark 'G' (Karlsruhe) below. The reverse (not pictured) typically shows the denomination and legal inscription.

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 Instructions

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.
