St. Joseph Museums

The image shows a 1974 German coin with the words "BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND" inscribed around the top and bottom edges, indicating it originates from the Federal Republic of Germany. Central to the coin's design is an oak branch, a common symbol associated with German coins representing strength and stability. The coin is round and likely made of a metallic alloy that gives it a golden hue. On the face of the coin is a handwritten number "79.17.4" in bold black ink, which stands out prominently against the coin's metallic surface. This written number seems to have been added manually and is not part of the original mint design. The background is plain, likely a dark surface that contrasts with the coin to emphasize its detailed engravings. Visible wear and imperfections on the coin's surface suggest it has been in circulation or handled frequently over time.
