These 19th century issues tend to be a challenge finding in decent shape. I assume due to increased circulation given reduced relative value as result of debasement of currency (sound familiar...). I found one on Ebay.

Second piece I won on an auction (I saw one posted by Jeff a while back) - very neat medal (hairlines much fainter in hand). 1928 5-Marks Pattern, struck in Silver. 36mm. 24,93 gr. Design by Gloeckler. Medal commemorates the 680-year anniversary of the foundation stone of the Cologne Cathedral, Obverse - Cathedral architect Gerhard von Rile in old German costume, with the reverse presenting the Catherdral two main towers as viewed from the West. Cologne Cathedral was started in 1248, but not finished until around 1880.
