# 556 - German Commemoratives - Part 4

in steemsilvergold •  5 years ago 

We will continue a series about silver commemoratives issued by the Federal Republic of Germany when the Mark was the legal tender.

The first one was a 1952 5 Mark commemorating the 100th anniversary of the "Germanisches Nationalmuseum" in Nuremberg and the last was a 2001 10 Mark commemorating the 750th anniversary of the "Katharinenkloster" and the 50th anniversary of the "Naval Museum" in Stralsund.

I only have a few of the 5 Mark commemoratives and I will show them in no particular order.

Each 5 Mark weights 11.2g with 62.5% silver purity and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.

Today we will see the 1975 5 Mark commemorating the 50th Anniversary of Death of Friedrich Ebert.

Friedrich Ebert (1871-1925) was the leader of the Social Democratic movement in Germany and a moderate socialist.
He was one of the top politicians that brought about the constitution of the Weimar Republic, which attempted to unite Germany after its defeat in World War I.
He was president of the Weimar Republic from 1919 to 1925.

The stylized eagle on the reverse is very characteristic of German coins, much like the US Silver Dollars. Can you tell us more about their eagle? Is it an eagle

The circulating 5 Mark (1951-1974) had always the same eagle, with minor differences:

while each of the commemoratives had his own eagle. The only common thing about the eagles is that they always face left.
