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.

Hey, I was thinking something along the same line
and Bryan Adams did 'Summer of 69' but you may find solace in Smashing Pumpkin's '1979'

Summer of 69 wasn't about a year though, perhaps we should nervously skirt around this topic before it becomes inappropriate. I've got quite a few pfennigs, jettons and marks but strangely none seem to be third reich. I guess I'm just intimidated of the eagle perched astride the swatstika :S
