Germany 1972G - 5 five rings on front . Second coin Germany completely diff. 5 mark 1972G yet looik so diff. Anyone can explain?
Hmm, I don't quite understand the question. The five rings you mentioned could be the Olympic rings that appeared on a 10 DM commem from 1972. Do you have images of the pieces? Christian
I'mfairly sure they are common - but why so same coins so diff looking? One is sort of uUS looking the other looks not so good. Germany 1972G 5 Mark - 2 coins look so diff.
Perhaps because there were several different commemorative made for the Olympics that year (all with the same date and denomination)?
That is what I assumed too (see post #3), but the 1972 Munich Olympics coins are all 10 DM pieces, and PaperPatty writes about 5 DM coins. Without any images, or a more detailed description at least, it will be tough to find out what those pieces are. (Edit) Here is an image of the 10 DM coin with the Olympic rings: http://www.muenzen.eu/tl_files/bilder/deutschland/10-dm-olympiade-feuer-1972.jpg Christian
