How to identify this coin

Obverse

A kneeling woman planting an oak seedling, with the legend BANK DEUTSCHER LÄNDER — a rare error, as most 1950 coins already read BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND.

Reverse

Denomination 50 PFENNIG, year 1950, and mint mark G.

Rarity and collector notes

The 1950 G coin bearing 'BANK DEUTSCHER LÄNDER' is a famous German rarity, created when Karlsruhe mistakenly used the old inscription. Genuine examples command strong premiums; the ordinary 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' version is common.

Confirm the inscription reads BANK DEUTSCHER LÄNDER before valuing highly — this is what separates the rare variety from the common one.
