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.
