Comments

NOTE: According 2019 Standard Catalog of World Coins, 2001-Date, 13th Edition:

KM#282 Face value "2 Cèntims" - Year 2009 - NO image - Subject "Berlin Wall, 20th anniversary" - Description “Brandenburg Gate and brick wall”

The year, description and all the technical data of the coin coincide with the one on this page, so we can understand that the face value is an error by Krause (there is no record of any 2 Cèntims gold coin from "Berlin Wall, 20th anniversary"), so it is logical to assign KM#282 to the 2 Diners coin on this page.

The fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 was a pivotal event in world history which marked the falling of the Iron Curtain and the start of the fall of communism in Eastern and Central Europe. The fall of the inner German border took place shortly afterwards. An end to the Cold War was declared at the Malta Summit three weeks later and the German reunification took place in October the following year.
