G'day!
I am going through my whole collection and have now reached East Germany - or German Democratic Republic. I notice in the coin page of the 5 Mark coin, marking the 20 years of GDR that the text on the edge are upwards when having the obverse up (https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces3110.html). On my coin the edg text is upside-down when the obverse is up. I think this should be mentioned on the year line.
Also, in the title, of the linked coin, it says "Nickel-bronze", but on the coin page it says "CompositionNickel brass". Are these two equal, or it something off here?
I also assume the Copper-Nickel version is much more shiny than the Copper-Brone coin.
Please remind me to add picture of the edge script.
Side note: It would be interesting if someone also could add picure of the edge script for the other to varieties; plain edge and Mongolian inscription and dates on edge.
Cheers!
