Interesting topic. Here are two pieces from the GDR (East Germany 1949-90) dedicated to communist leaders who were killed (images from ddr-muenzen.de). The 20M coin was issued in 1971 and commemorates Rosa Luxemburg and Karl Liebknecht, two communists who were killed by a paramilitary group in the 1918/19 revolution.

The other one, a 10M piece issued in 1986, commemorated Ernst Thälmann, a leading politician of the Communist party in the Weimar Republic years. In 1944 he was killed in the Buchenwald concentration camp.
