Can you please send us a close up of the as crazy as it sounds "blue and yellow stone embedded on the obverse"? And, how do you know it's a "stone"? Sounds interesting, I'd love to see more.

The coin seems to have a lot of "gunk" on it (including maybe glitter?), so I wouldn't put too much stock in what you see until after an acetone bath and rinse.

Looks like the DDR missing a layer or partial layer of metal. Probably gonna have someone look at it. Is it 100 percent not that?

I'm in the gunk camp. Try some acetone and a wood toothpick.

It's encased in metal but after I'll let it take a bath in nail polish remover!

That deep blue is likely to be copper corrosion with the other signs of environmental stress this coin has been through.
