<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 495248, member: 39&quot;]That&#039;s because they are two different pieces. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; The expensive one is the 1950 G coin with the inscription &quot;Bank deutscher Länder&quot;. That type was minted in 1949, in the transition phase between the allied occupation and the federal republic.</p><p><br /></p><p>Once the Federal Republic of Germany was founded (May &#039;49), the inscription was changed to &quot;Bundesrepublik Deutschland&quot;, the country&#039;s name. For some reason, the Karlsruhe mint accidentally produced about 30,000 pieces with the old (BdL) text. And those are expensive indeed, from €370 in VF to about €1,000 in BU. The 1950 G coin with the regular (BRD) text is about €15 in BU.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
