<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Luis, post: 629107, member: 17336&quot;]It&#039;s not really a 5 Marks coin, it just has the same composition and weight, but it&#039;s not legal tender I think.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Goetz created an actual 5 Mark pattern for competition for a new coin (probably 5 made and very expensive) but the Munich Mint did not pick his design. It was suggested to him that he convert the pattern to a commemorative medal in order to recoup his costs for time and materials on his original design.&nbsp; He then did so and it is the most prevalent medal he made with over 1 million in circulation.&nbsp; The current price (approx $50) is it&#039;s value.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>This is taken from a personal communication.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
