German 5 Deutsche Mark differences - YouTube
Channel: Gumardee coins and banknotes
[0]
so hello people hey you're going this is
Glen from you ready coins and banknotes
[6]
and today we're just gonna have a look
at these two German five Deutsche my
[11]
coins now as you can see I have two
different forms of it so on this side we
[18]
have this silver coin
it's a 0.625 silver so sixty two point
[23]
five percent silver and the eleven point
two grams and this coin was minted from
[28]
1951 to 1974 when in the 60s and 70s a
lot of countries that had silver in
[39]
their coinage took them out and by 1975
virtually no country had silver in their
[44]
coinage the only country after that they
had some silver was Mexico with the ten
[51]
and twenty pesos of him yeah I can't
remember but I'll make a video on it so
[57]
in 1975 this coin was issued this is a
copper nickel waste seven grams both of
[64]
them a twenty nine millimeters and about
two millimeters in thickness and as you
[70]
can see the design is different because
a lot of countries changed their design
[75]
they're actually a feud it didn't when
they change their coinage like you know
[81]
it's tasty and change in design
Switzerland didn't Australia did but we
[90]
also decimalised at the same time who
else did not I can't think of any others
[100]
Oh Switzerland I not so it's on Sweden
when he reduced or change its coins
[105]
usually changed its design as well so on
this con me about bundesrepublik
[111]
deutschland which just means a federal
German Republic and deutsche mark which
[117]
is just a moment of currency 1951 as you
can see the condition is not that great
[122]
but it's not too bad as well and this is
dead
[125]
the midmark um so this
one had a mintage of twenty million six
[136]
hundred thousand so as a first year of
issue 1951 it's understandable that I
[142]
had a high mintage and the this wasn't
issued again until 1956 in lime integers
[153]
and I was is she didn't lime integers
and - it was taken out of circulation so
[161]
it was also
demonetized in 1975 because of the
[167]
exchange with this client and here is
the German eagle on the back in the same
[173]
with this coin pretty much the same
except the mint mark is on the other
[177]
side now so here is the current or the
new eagle it's more like a bit like a
[186]
abstract representation of an eagle and
this one's more like a medieval type of
[195]
eagle design and this is also D mint
mark so 1975 D I had 65 million coins so
[205]
that home in teach indicate that these
coins actually did circulate and as you
[209]
can see that they are bit damaged so
they actually did circulate so on the
[218]
egg and sorry on the edge we have our Y
height I mean I need kite wouldn't wreck
[230]
also wouldn't I hate so it actually
started here and that actually means
[238]
unity so I need kite means unity and
record justice hunt
[248]
I hate freedom and if we look on this
coin it actually has the same thing so
[256]
that is actually the motto of West
Germany except this one has the German
[262]
eagle as separation in between the two
so travel yep said you Eagle Eagle that
[274]
will able represents the staff so that
he's actually pretty good so basic coin
[280]
meant for circulation we've one side the
denomination the other side with the
[285]
German eagle which um it's a pretty
common on German coins and if you coins
[295]
from East Germany the German break defy
my Republic and the German Empire
[305]
usually have one side with a symbol most
of the time spent an eagle but not all
[311]
the time and the other side has it
denomination so I like to thank you very
[317]
much for watching if you like German
coins please give this video a thumbs up
[323]
and have awesome conflict in time people
and I hope am you'll learn something
[328]
today so bye bye
