German Coin

I have a sliver coin and it was minted at Deutsche Numismatik (Frankfurt) in 1965. The airmail envelope
has a stamp 5/1/64, so it may have been minted a few months earlier.
The name of the coin is 1110 Kennedy Attentat 54S It is 70 grams, silver and 60mm
It has a picture of JF Kennedy in his car with his wife and 2 others when he was shot. The
other side is a picture of Jack Ruby shooting Oswald.
My mom ordered this coin and I was always facinated by it. She later gave it to me.
I have recently been sorting coins, currency and stamps and decide to followup. I can't seem
to find any info.
Thanks

My first impression was that it is a silver round (if silver and not clad) and not actually legal german tender. 60mm size tends towards medals, commem., etc. As a curiosity or to the right person it may be worth something, otherwise, the value of its metal.
I wish I could do better for you-maybe someone else is familiar with it.

I think it must be a commemorative but I am unable to find any information. I have contacted a few people that handle German coins and they don't have any knowledge of this coin.
The writings are

"nhon singul iure oswald ruby perimit"
Front
"in kennedyn abiecta vis dallas M C M L XIII"
The coin is incrediibly detailed - I will post pictures if i can ever figure out how to keep my scan under the legal limit
