Nice reichsmark, I've never even heard of that design before - is it quite scarce?

Coins with this design are not scarce. The depicted church is the Garrison Church in Potsdam. This coin was first released on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Nazi take-over, with the date Hitler seized power put on the coin (March 21,1933). On a following issue the date was taken off. The Potsdam Garrison Church was depicted on both the 2 and 5 reichsmark coins.

Thanks for the info Bart; even I didn't know that.

Whats the mint mark on it? you can see it below the church

Here is the 2RM version with the G = Karlsruhe mint mark. I can not quite make yours out.

The mintmark is A= Berlin Mint (I Think).

The Christmas 1979 piece is very nicely designed, the side with the city/market scene, that is. I wonder whether that is supposed to be an actual location or rather some "generic" place. As for this being a token, I am not sure. May be so, but usually you don't have tokens at Christmas markets here. So it's probably a medal ...
