What's up plebs?!
Looks like this is the end of the line! It's been what? Two? Maybe three years but finally we have reached the last piece of my silver Deutsche mark collection. This is the last one!
Let's see what I got for you today!
So, this is a 1991 piece minted for the 200 years of the Bradenburger Gate in Berlin (Brandenburger Tor) an 18th-century neoclassical monument and one of the best-known landmarks of the country:
It was erected on the site of a former city gate that marked the start of the road from Berlin to Brandenburg an der Havel, the former capital of the Margraviate of Brandenburg. The current structure was built from 1788 to 1791 by orders of King Frederick William II of Prussia, based on designs by the royal architect Carl Gotthard Langhans. The bronze sculpture of the quadriga crowning the gate is a work by the sculptor Johann Gottfried Schadow. source
Here's a photo of how it looks like, chances are you have already seen it in a movie, documentary or whatever:
When the coin is flipped, as always, we get a unique design of the imperial eagle, minting date and denomination:
Nice one :)
And as always we get a unique engraved text on the edge:
It reads
DEUTSCHLAND EINIG VATERLAND
For
Germany, united fatherland" or "Germany, one fatherland."
The Brandenburg Gate became a powerful symbol of a unified Germany after the fall of the Berlin Wall which was next to it, so it's a fitting quote!
If you have read any of my countless posts on German coins than you know we have a 15.5 g coin of 0.625 purity. The standard recipe for German commemorative coins prior to 2000 :)
And here are some more boring semantics from Numista in case you care:

And this my fellow plebs concludes today's coin, featuring one of the most important and popular monuments of Germany!
I guess it's time to visit other countries more regularly now that I have run out of German silver....?

Oh Wow good friend the history behind the Brandenburg Gate is very very interesting. It's so cool how coins can tell such rich stories. The symbolism of Germany, one fatherland is powerful, especially after the fall of the Berlin Wall. I'm loving this man..thanks so much for sharing this one big bro
