The coins still bear the name DEUTSCHLAND and an ear of wheat in front of a gear wheel, a symbol of the alliance between worker and peasant, the emblem of the Two-Year Plan. Both sides were designed by Franz Paul Krischker. The 1948 date has 216,537,385 pieces in Berlin. The coin ceased to be legal tender on 31 December 1970.
