It's not really a 5 Marks coin, it just has the same composition and weight, but it's not legal tender I think.
Edit:
"Goetz created an actual 5 Mark pattern for competition for a new coin (probably 5 made and very expensive) but the Munich Mint did not pick his design. It was suggested to him that he convert the pattern to a commemorative medal in order to recoup his costs for time and materials on his original design. He then did so and it is the most prevalent medal he made with over 1 million in circulation. The current price (approx $50) is it's value."
This is taken from a personal communication.
