    Description

    1972 D Munich Olympics Silver Commemorative 10 Deutsche Mark Coin -- Stadium
    Design
    One of the largest single-focused coin series ever was the
    1972 Munich Olympics Silver Coins
    issued by Germany. The series was produced to celebrate the 20th Olympiad held in Munich, Germany during 1972. Six different coin themes were produced in silver proof and silver uncirculated quality by four of the five German Mints.
    The six themes included "In Deutschland", "Schleife", "Athletes", "Stadium", "In Munchen", and "Flame". This is an extremely nice example with few bag marks and no visible wear.
    Paying tribute to the main Olympic Stadium located in Munich's north, as part of Olympiapark Munchen, the reverse design features an aerial view of the outlay of the Olympic stadium grounds, with the main arena off to the left. The obverse Eagle motif is quite a departure from previous designs in the Olympic series. The edge lettering spells out "Fortius Citus Altius" in Latin.
