| Additional information |
The "Aureus Magnus" series was a privately commissioned medallic issue, not a product of the Bundesbank or any federal mint authority. These pieces were struck by a private German firm in the mid-1950s and carry no legal tender status — the denomination is essentially decorative, assigned by the issuer rather than the state. The Federal Republic at that time was still operating under Allied occupation monetary frameworks transitioning to Deutsche Mark sovereignty, and no federal gold coinage of any kind was authorized for circulation.
The X# prefix in the reference confirms its non-circulating medallic classification under the Krause system.
