GERMAN COINS & CURRENCY


BANKNOTE FROM THE CITY OF GOTHA

Gotha 100 Mark banknote 1922Reduced 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.

OLD HIGH-GRADE NAZI COIN  Back in stockNazi Germany 1 Reichspfennig 1937-F Stuttgart Mint

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.
Item DE-89U NAZI GERMAN 1 REICHSPFENNIG 1937, STUTTGART AU-UNC. $6.00
