Context
The Federal Republic of Germany minted coins for other countries. The Karlsruhe mint received the order to mint Venezuelan circulation coins in 1989. It is therefore obvious that the 1 DM coin was mixed up with the 1 Bolivar piece from Venezuela. Sold for 32.000 DEM at Emporium Hamburg Auction 46 Lot 414 in 2001.
