| Reverse description | Central motif depicting an Ostrogothic eagle-motif brooch, a decorative fibula discovered in the tomb of a Visigothic or Ostrogothic princess in San Marino and held in the collection of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Nuremberg. The circular legend surrounding the design reads 'GERMANISCHES MUSEUM EIGEN-THUM DER DEUTSCHEN NATION' with 'NÜRNBERG' incorporated, all separated by star ornaments. Two dates, '1852' and '1952', appear in the lower field, commemorating the founding and centenary of the museum. |

| Additional information |
The Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg, founded in 1852, holds the largest collection of German cultural history in existence. This piece was struck by the Bayerisches Hauptmünzamt as a replica souvenir rather than legal tender — the "5 Deutsche Mark" denomination is nominally nostalgic given that Germany had adopted the euro two years prior, rendering the face value purely ceremonial.
