size image
Because of the severe inflation that followed World War I, prices were
rising faster than the German government could print money.
Many
towns
and companies resorted to printing their own currency. This
100
Mark
note was issued by the City of Gotha, Germany. It is dated
September
30, 1922. It is a simple, uniface note that pictures a bishop
from the
town’s arms.

NAZI GERMAN
SILVER COINS
These
four silver coins serve as a memento of the horrors of the
Third Reich.
The 2 Reichsmark was issued from 1936 to 1939. It pictures
Paul
von Hindenburg on one side and an eagle holding a wreathed swastika on
the other. It is 25mm in diameter. Nazi Germany used three
different designs on their regular
issue 5 Reichsmark coins. The first pictured the Potsdam
Military
Church on one side and an eagle and two small swastikas on the other.
It was struck only from 1934 to 1935. The second type was
struck
during only during the last part of 1935 and the first part of 1936. It
pictured Paul von Hindenburg on one side and an eagle on the
other. Starting in 1936 the Eagle reverse was replaced with
an
eagle holding a wreathed swastika, similar to the 2 Reichsmark. The
Eagle and Swastika 5 Reichsmark was struck from 1936 to 1939.
The
silver 5 Reichsmark coins are each 29mm in diameter.
Because of the war, no Nazi silver coins were struck after 1939. Coins
grade Very Fine.

OLD HIGH-GRADE NAZI
COIN 

We came across an interesting hoard of original Uncirculated bronze
Nazi German 1 Reichspfennig coins. The obverse depicts an
eagle holding a swastika within a wreath. The reverse shows
the denomination. The coins are dated 1937 and bear the F mintmark of
the Stuttgart mint. The coins are over 70 years
old, yet still retain most of their original mint luster and show only
a bit of toning. I suggest buying these now while they are
available, as they may again be hard to find in this nice condition
once the hoard is disbursed. Because some coins are slightly toned we
are calling them AU-Uncirculated.

EAST GERMAN COINS

POLLUTION
The
communist government of East Germany (German Democratic Republic, or
DDR) considered pollution to be good! It symbolized
industrialization, progress and productivity. Thus when East Germany
issued its first 50 Pfennig coin in 1950 the design featured a factory
belching out smoke. An old plow sits in the foreground. The
date and denomination are on the obverse. The aluminum-bronze coin was
struck in Berlin and catalogs $10 in Very Fine condition. Our
price is much less for this interesting coin.
