<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2313683, member: 39&quot;]Here is another &quot;Berlin Bear&quot; coin. In 1981 the GDR (East G.) issued a 10 M piece commemorating 700 years of minting in Berlin. It features an Eternal or Perpetual Penny with the bear; not the first piece minted in Berlin AFAIK but a characteristic early one. The term &quot;Ewiger Pfennig&quot; (denarius perpetuus) means that, unlike most bracteates, it did not have to be exchanged every year or so. Oh well, at some point even such eternal coins were revoked ... <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://www.muenzen.eu/tl_files/bilder/ddr/10-mark-muenze-berlin-1981.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the coin, I think, that can be seen on the GDR coin:</p><p><a href="http://ww2.smb.museum/ikmk/object.php?id=18206687" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://ww2.smb.museum/ikmk/object.php?id=18206687" rel="nofollow">http://ww2.smb.museum/ikmk/object.php?id=18206687</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
