| Additional information |
The "Argenteus Aureus Magnus Concordia" is not a government-issued coin but a private fantasy or medal strike — the X# prefix in the Krause reference system designates it as a non-standard issue outside official state coinage. Germany's Federal Republic had no authorized silver denomination in this format in 1961, and the issue carries no legal tender status under West German monetary law.
At 45g of .999 silver in 1961, the bullion value alone would have exceeded any plausible face denomination, which places this firmly in the category of commemorative or collector fantasy production rather than circulating or even standard commemorative coinage.
