Identification note: Exact year and KM number not visible; denomination inferred from common Berlin series format; edge and precise specs not confirmed. | Observed legends “BERLIN Hauptstadt der DDR” with Berlin bear arms and reverse legend “Sowjetisches Ehrenmal” depicting the Treptower Park soldier match the DDR Berlin commemorative series. That reverse is known on a 5 Mark copper‑nickel type from ca. 1969–1971, mintmark A (Berlin). Denomination, era, and design support the Berlin ‘Soviet War Memorial’ type, but the specific KM number (and any proof suffix) cannot be confirmed from the provided evidence because the date/denomination side, edge, and finish are not shown. Verifications that would secure the exact KM number: confirm date and denomination, measure approx. diameter/weight for DDR Cu‑Ni 5 Mark, and determine if business strike vs. proof.
