<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mynter, post: 1665322, member: 40061&quot;]Another empire coin of 1915. To mark the centennial of&nbsp; Mansfeld belonging to Prussia this commemorative 3 - mark was struck. Origionally there where plans to strike 700.000 specimens, but due to the war situaution only 30.000 where allowed. The silver for this issue actually came from the mines at Mansfeld, where prospectoring had a long history back to the time b. C.</p><p>The coin shows St. George and the dragon, wich was a traditional motive on Mansfeld coins, on the obverse you can see a modernized eagle. This modell was used on some commemorative issues only, but one can only guess if this is what Empire coins at a given point might have looked like in case there would not have been anny WW I.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
