Since they give both his birth date and date of death, they are obviously posthumous, and not products of the post-war German government.
They are more probably silver-plated copper than pure silver, as the Ebay seller estimates.
Based on the "One People, One Nation, One Leader" inscription, they were clearly struck by a neo-Nazi (illegal in Germany) organization, and if originally sold as silver, they should have been accompanied by a COA specifying their content.
