| Additional information |
Potsdam's millennium was marked in 993 AD when Emperor Otto III confirmed the settlement in a royal deed — making 1993 the occasion for this commemorative. The city had spent most of the Cold War as a restricted military zone within East Germany, its Hohenzollern palaces decaying behind closed borders. Reunification in 1990 meant this issue arrived just three years after Potsdam was again accessible to the wider German public, giving the anniversary a political undercurrent that the mint's press releases carefully avoided naming.
