On the reverse of this BU ?5 coin, the inscription ?Berliner Mauer 1961-1989? stands out in the centre of the view of the Wall. In the background is the Brandenburg Gate and, on the right, the statue of the Victory Column.

Built in a single night in 1961, for 28 years the Wall opposed two conceptions of reality. Four metres high and 155 kilometres long, it represented Germany's internal border.

On 9 November 1989, the Wall was demolished with a pickaxe. Twenty-five years later, snapshots of that afternoon remain as a record of an era, a warning for the future.

The obverse of the coin depicts the coat of arms of the Republic of San Marino.
