<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Billy Kingsley, post: 709975, member: 19456&quot;]...Totally by accident! I nabbed this coin out of a discount bin at CoinFest. When I got home and was doing some research on it in my Krause book, I see that the version with the writing around the edge is a commerative! When I purchased it I did not know it was a commemerative, I bought it simply because I like German coins and I did not have this example in my collection yet!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I was somewhat surprised to see that there are so many varieties of this coin, 11 total. It celebrates the third anniversary of the Weimar republic. </p><p>Mine was struck in Berlin (the A on the reverse bottom)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the non-commerative version, the Eagle is larger and there are no words on the Obverse. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I have always enjoyed seeing the German commeratives, both in books and in posts, and now I have one of my own! I also really enjoy aluminum coins, and this fits that bill as well! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://images21.fotki.com/v194/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5600-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><img src="http://images21.fotki.com/v194/photos/3/348354/6136805/100_5601-vi.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
