The Treaty of Versailles was one of the peace treaties at the end of World War I. It ended the state of war between Germany and the Allied Powers. It was signed on 28 June 1919, exactly five years after the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand. The other Central Powers on the German side of World War I were dealt with in separate treaties. Although the armistice signed on 11 November 1918, ended the actual fighting, it took six months of negotiations at the Paris Peace Conference to conclude the peace treaty. The treaty was registered by the Secretariat of the League of Nations on 21 October 1919, and was printed in The League of Nations Treaty Series.
Oak is the national tree of Germany. The oak tree is generally found in the northern hemisphere. The tree as the national symbol stands for strength and endurance.
Between 1927 and 1933, Germany issued a large silver coin of the 5 Mark denomination nearing a mature oak tree on the obverse and a stylized eagle on the reverse. The oak tree represented the Weimar Republic, which grew out of the old Imperial Germany after World War I. The "Oak Tree" 5 Mark is considered a "regular issue" even though it was made during the same period as a number of German commemorative coins of the same denomination. Choice examples are beautiful. The frosty luster of the silver metal and the lovely design of the coin itself make these one of the most popular of all German coins. All are hard to find in Gem condition and a couple of the dates (1930-G and 1933-J).
