| Obverse description | Large numeral '20' dominates the central field, with the word 'MARK' to the right and the date '1973' below to the left. The East German state emblem — hammer and compass encircled by a wreath of rye — appears at the bottom center, with the mint mark 'A' below it. The circular legend 'DEUTSCHE DEMOKRATISCHE REPUBLIK' runs along the upper periphery. This obverse die originates from the standard 1973 20 Mark coinage, making this piece a mule when combined with the 30th anniversary reverse. |

| Reverse description | Two conjoined busts in profile fill the central field: a female worker facing right in the background and a male worker wearing a hard hat facing left in the foreground. An industrial facility with a refinery tower rises behind them to the left. The two-line inscription '30 JAHRE DDR' appears in the lower field on a plain tablet, commemorating the 30th anniversary of the German Democratic Republic. The design is rendered in high relief with a smooth, unadorned field. |
