Silver commemorative coin minted in Berlin to celebrate the centennial of Käthe Kollwitz's birth. The obverse features the state emblem of the German Democratic Republic, consisting of the hammer and compass surrounded by ears of grain, alongside the denomination shown as 10 MDN, abbreviation for Mark der Deutschen Notenbank. The reverse shows a portrait of Kollwitz looking left, in an expressionist style with strong sculptural modeling, designed by Axel Bertram and Gerhard Rommel. The piece preserves very sharp relief, intense silver gloss and especially clean fields, with minimal surface marks compatible with the high grade MS66. The issue commemorates one of the most prominent figures of German social art, known for her depictions of poverty, war and human suffering; her catalogued mintage was 61,940 copies.
