The Federal Republic of Germany issued a series of DM (Deutsche Mark) 5 commemorative coins between 1952 and 1986, which were minted alternately by the four German mints. With the cessation of issuance in 1986, the official 5 DM commemorative coins of the Federal Republic of Germany became the irretrievably closed collecting area of German history.
The occasion was the 500th birthday of the artist Albrecht Dürer
Albrecht Dürer the Younger (also Duerer; * May 21, 1471 in Nuremberg; † April 6, 1528 ibid.) was a German painter, graphic artist, mathematician and art theorist. With his paintings, drawings, copperplate engravings and woodcuts he is one of the outstanding representatives of the Renaissance.
It is a commemorative coin, which was issued in West Germany (BRD) (1948 - 1989). The coin consists of 625/1000 silver and on the edge is an inscription. "THE MOST NOBLE SENSE OF MAN IS TO SEE" - German: "'DER ALLER EDELST SINN DER MENSCHEN IST SEHEN'"
Like most coins it is round and has the medal orientation (0°). The weight is 11.2 g. The diameter is 29 mm and the thickness is 2.07 mm.
