1979-D 2 Mk Heuss PR68DCAM PCGS #456853

Germany-Federal Republic | KM# 124 | J-406 | The coin was issued on the 20th anniversary of the promulgation of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany on May 23, 1949. The coin is showing Theodor Heuss on its obverse. Theodor Heuss was a West German liberal politician who served as the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany from 1949 to 1959. His cordial nature – something of a contrast to the stern character of chancellor Konrad Adenauer – largely contributed to the stabilization of democracy in West Germany during the Wirtschaftswunder years. Before beginning his career as a politician, Heuss had been a political journalist.
