German Eagle Coin Appraisal

German Bundesadler Coin

The item is a circular metal coin, appearing to be made of a silver-colored alloy, possibly cupronickel or a similar material, though specific composition cannot be determined from the image. It exhibits a noticeable patina, particularly a golden-brown tarnishing or discoloration across the upper and central portions of the obverse, contrasting with the more silvery tone in the lower areas. The obverse prominently features a stylized eagle, commonly known as the 'Bundesadler' (Federal Eagle), which is the national emblem of Germany. The eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, and its head is turned to the left (viewer's right). The feathers are rendered with a series of parallel lines, giving a sense of texture. Around the perimeter of the coin, there is a raised bead border, suggesting protection for the design and a clean edge. The overall condition shows signs of circulation, indicated by wear on the raised surfaces and general dullness, but no significant damage like deep scratches or dents is visible. The craftsmanship appears to be of standard mint quality for coinage, with clear detail in the eagle design. Based on the design, it is likely a German coin from the post-WWII era, possibly a 1 or 2 Deutsche Mark coin from the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany), which were issued from the mid-20th century.
