[QUOTE="Seba79, post: 3159996, member: 70480"]Hello! Here the last one! The 5 [I]Reichsmarks[/I] commemorating the world flight of the Graf Zeppelin. The airship LZ 127 [I]"Graf Zeppelin"[/I] (built 1927/28) took off on August 15, 1929 for a world flight under the leadership of Dr. Hugo Eckener with 61 persons in Friedrichshafen on Lake Constance and flew over Leipzig, Berlin, Königsberg, Ural, Siberia, Port Arthur, to Tokyo (about 11,000 km in four days) and after a four-day Break continues to San Francisco, Chicago, Detroit, Lakehurst, Friedrichshafen. On 4. 9. 1929 the world flight of almost 50. 000 km was finished. This airship, was named in honor of the German airship pioneer Ferdinand von Zeppelin, who reached the rank of Count in the German nobility (according to German usage the particle "von" in the name is omitted when a title such as "Graf" is used). This coin type is not the most rarest, but still expensive, was minted in Stuttgart with a low coinage of 40.120 pieces. Not in the best condition, but still pretty, don't you think? :-) [ATTACH=full]810817[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]810818[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
