Up for auction is a very rare collectible and harder to get German/WWII German 2 Reichsmark
SILVER
coin from 1937 minted in WWII Germany,
DRESDEN
!!!
On one side is the WWII German “War Eagle” perched on a wreath which encircles the most dreaded and feared symbol of that time, a large WWII German symbol, and on the other is a portrait of Hindenburg, WWII German Leaders’ predecessor. Paul Von Hindenburg was Germany’s greatest hero of World War I. He was elected president of Germany in 1925 and appointed WWII German Leaders as chancellor in 1933. The aging Hindenburg died in 1934, and was honored on WWII German coins, minted between the years 1936 and 1939 The writing on the edge of the coin reads in German: "The Common Good goes before the Interest of the Individual". The WWII Germans minted these coins in 7 different locations throughout Germany.
In 1939 WWII German Leaders Succeeded by putting Poland under the WWII German symbol, and thus precipitated WW2. With war came many changes, the production of WWII German coins being just one. WW2 coincided with German mints ceasing production altogether of the silver Reichsmark WWII German coins. Further, all Reichspfennig WWII German coins were now produced in cheaper zinc. Production of Silver WWII German coins may have ceased with the start of WW2 but the WWII German symbol clearly remained, emblazoned on zinc and copper Reichspfennig WWII German coins, most of which were destroyed after the war along with the factories that made them.
More Detailed History: The WWII Germany started issuing clearly identifiable "WWII German" coins (ie with WWII German symbol) from 1936. Although the WWII German's were in power from 1933, the designs for the smaller denomination coinage were simply a continuation of "Weimarer Republik" designs. It was only from 1936 that the smaller denomination WWII Germany coins had the WWII German Reichsadler and Hakenkreuz (WWII German symbol) incorporated into the coin's design. Prior to 1940, small denomination coins were minted from "superior" metals ie copper (1 & 2 Reichspfennig), Brass Alloy (5 & 10 Reichspfennig), and depending upon the year either Nickel or Aluminum (50 Reichspfennig). Things radically changed after the 1939 and the start of the Second World War however. After 1939, no more large denomination silver coins were minted (2 and 5 Reichsmark). Smaller denomination coins continued to be minted but no longer using the "superior" metals. From 1940, almost all the small denomination coins were minted from an zinc base metal. The exception to this were 50 Reichspfennig coins which were instead minted from an aluminum base metal.
The WWII Germany had a number of mints (coin factories). Each mint location had its own identifiable letter. It is therefore possible to identify exactly which mint produced what coin by noting the mint mark (letter) on the coin. Not all mints were authorized to produce coins every year. The mints were also only authorized to produced a set number of coins with some mints allocated a greater production than others. Some of the coins with particular mint marks are therefore scarcer than others. On the smaller denomination Reichspfennig coins, the mint mark is found on the bottom center of the coin.
