Here is my 1939-A Berlin Silver 2 Mark Piece.



Here is a rather minty 1938-D Munich Silver 2 Mark Piece.

 

I collect German Empire and Federal Republic coins. The Empire 1 mark and the Federal 5 mark are my favorite of all the designs.

 

here are some well used coins. I have more, just don't have pics.

 

That is an awesome Martin Luther Commemorative .

 

check out my new notgeld....






anyone know what year this was minted?

 

Denominated 20 Pfenning... lets see what else I can dig up

Probably made of Iron (I see Iron, Zinc and Board as possibilities)

Made in 1920.

 

Here are some old pics... :devil:

 

These are from my horrible photography stage (only slightly improved since then )

 

I have many more that I still need to have photographed. Just takes a lot of time. - None of them are toned as beautifully as Gbroke's though...

 

German East Africa

Here is a far-flung outpost of the German Empire.

 

Here is the only ceramic coin in my collection: 1 Mark Saxon Notgeld 1921.

 

50 million marks Notgeld from Westfalen

Gilded bronze, 32 g, 44.5 mm, a nice hefty lump of metal.

 

3 Kopecks Commander-in-Chief of the East 1916

8.6 g Fe, 28 mm, military coinage for occupied territories in Eastern Europe

 

2/3 Thaler

I like to collect odd denominations, and I think 2/3 of a Thaler qualifies, though it is not quite as arbitrary as it sounds, being equal to 1 Gulden at the time.

 

Victory over France!

I often wondered why the French were so uncompromising in their demands for reparations in the Versailles Treaty. Now I think I know why: because Bismarck demanded heavy reparations from France after the Franco-Prussian war. The French wanted tit-for-tat. Here is one of several "Victory Thalers" issued to celebrate the successful end of the war.

 

That is a tram (Straßenbahn) token from the city of Leipzig, Saxony.

Where do you think did Prussia get all that gold from that was stored at the Julius-Turm in Spandau? France had to pay five billion francs to the newly founded German Empire, and part of that - gold in coins worth about 120 million marks - was stored in that fortress tower until WW1 ...

As for this topic, well, I collect coins from my country (Federal Republic of Germany, founded in 1949). Have a few from the Deutsches Reich (1871-1949), the GDR (East G., 1949-1990) too, but I focus on modern pieces from Western/Central Europe and North America.
