<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 2413522, member: 39&quot;]In this case the occasion was a little different. While the text says &quot;Symbol of German Unity&quot; (basically because it was right on the East-West border), the coin commemorates the 200th anniversary of the Brandenburg Gate. This gate (there had been an earlier one at that site) was built or rather completed in 1791.</p><p><br /></p><p>The Munich Olympics coins, by the way, have somewhat misleading dates. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Usually the silver and gold coins have the year on the eagle side. These ones do not, they merely refer to the 1972 Games on the other side. The first ones however were issued earlier: Spiral/&quot;in Deutschland&quot; in 1970, Abstract Rings 1971, Two Athletes 1971 ...</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
