AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GERMANY. Berlin. 5 Mark. 1984.

- Value: 5 Mark.
- Year: 1984.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: THOMAS KIRCHE · LEIPZIG. Reverse: DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCHE REPUBLIK · 1984 · 5 MARK.
- Grade: PR68 DCAM (PCGS).

Commemorative 5 Mark coin minted by the German Democratic Republic at the Berlin mint (mark A), dedicated to the Thomaskirche church in Leipzig, renowned for its close association with Johann Sebastian Bach, who served there as cantor from 1723 to 1750. The obverse depicts the church façade with detailed architectural treatment, accompanied by the inscription THOMAS KIRCHE and LEIPZIG. The reverse shows the national emblem of the German Democratic Republic, surrounded by the state's official designation, the face value, and the year of issue. Minted in Proof quality, the specimen features intense mirrored fields and frosted reliefs that produce a pronounced Deep Cameo contrast, with nearly flawless surfaces and extraordinary visual appeal, fully consistent with the PR68 DCAM grade awarded by PCGS. This issue is part of the commemorative series dedicated to the historical and cultural heritage of the German Democratic Republic, highlighting one of the most emblematic temples of German musical and religious tradition.

This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
