| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a short-lived West German private mint series issued outside the federal coinage system — struck for the collector market rather than circulation, which explains the .999 fineness uncommon in contemporary German state issues. The "Peace on Earth" theme was commercially prevalent in the early 1970s, coinciding with Ostpolitik and Willy Brandt's active diplomatic push toward normalized relations with Eastern Europe, a policy that earned Brandt the Nobel Peace Prize in 1971.
