Description from the seller
GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC. Berlin. 10 Mark. 1969.
- Denomination: 10 Mark.
- Year: 1969.
- Inscriptions: Obverse: DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCHE REPUBLIK · 1969 · 10 MARK. - Reverse: JOHANN FRIEDRICH BÖTTGER · 1682–1719.
- Grade: MS63 (PCGS).
Silver commemorative coin issued for the 250th anniversary of Johann Friedrich Böttger’s death. The obverse features the GDR coat of arms—a hammer and compass surrounded by ears of grain—while the reverse depicts a stylized porcelain jug and the crossed-swords emblem of Meissen. The coin retains a satin finish, well-defined relief, and small scattered marks consistent with its MS63 grade. Böttger was a pivotal figure in the development of Europe’s first hard-paste porcelain. An initial 100,313 pieces were struck, of which 33,661 were melted down, leaving a final mintage of 66,652 examples.
Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to make absolutely clear that I ship from Spain, which means that if a package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or to a location within the EU that has a special tax agreement (for example, the Canary Islands), it may be held by your local customs office, which may ask you to pay taxes. This is a legal customs procedure and is completely beyond our control. Thank you for your understanding.
