<p>[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1070948, member: 6229"]Staying, for now, within the numismatic realm of the German Empire (1871-1918), alphabetically our research brings us to the German State of Lippe-Detmold whose minor circulating coinage was struck by the Berlin Mint (mint mark A). Remember, when the German Empire was formed on April 14, 1871, 38 so-called German States were still in existance and had the right to authorize the striking of gold and silver coinage in denominations above 1 Mark.

[QUOTE="Clinker, post: 1070948, member: 6229"]Staying, for now, within the numismatic realm of the German Empire (1871-1918), alphabetically our research brings us to the German State of Lippe-Detmold whose minor circulating coinage was struck by the Berlin Mint (mint mark A).

Before we tackle the authorized coins of Lippe-Detmold, let me direct your attention back to that earlier reference to [I]Otto Von Bismarck[/I]: At a place once known as Missouri Crossing in Dakota Territory, a city was founded in 1872 and given the name Edwinton, in honor of Edwin Ferry Johnson (1803-1872), a distinguished civil engineer who was engineer-in-chief for the Northern Pacific Railway from June 1866 to November 1870. In 1873 the Northern Pacific Railway changed the city's name to [I]Bismarck[/I], after the German chancelor [I]Otto Von Bismarck[/I], in an effort to attract German investment. The city became the Capitol City of North Dakota. Before we look at the authorized Silver 2 and 3 Mark coins struck by the Berlin Mint for Lippe-Detmold during the German Empire's existance (1871-1918) let's take a look at some previously struck coins such as these five silver One and Two Mariengroschen to get an idea of what the previous coinage looked like (photos courtesy of Coin Archives): [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/results.php?search=Altdeutsche+M%C3%BCnzen+und+Medaillen+Lippe-Detmold+Mariengroschen+&s=0&results=100"][B]LIPPE-DETMOLD PRE GERMAN EMPIRE COINS[/B][/URL] And here are two One-Third Talers from pre German Empire Lippe-Detmold (Coin Archives photos): [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/results.php?search=Altdeutsche+M%C3%BCnzen+und+Medaillen+Lippe-Detmold+Simon+August+1734-1782.+1%2F3+Taler+1772%2C+&s=0&results=100"][B]LIPPE-DETMOLD PRE GERMAN EMPIRE COINS:[/B][/URL] Now it's time for you to see the two silver denominations authorized by Leopold IV in the days of the German Empire (Coin Archives Photos): The first is this 28mm silver (0.3215 ounce ASW) 2 (Zwei) Mark (20,000 business strike and 1,100 proofs): [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/results.php?search=DEUTSCHLAND+AB+1871+REICHSSILBERM%C3%9CNZEN+LIPPE+Leopold+IV.%2C+1904-1918.+2+Mark+1906+&s=0&results=100"][B]LIPPE-DETMOLD 1906-A 2 MARK[/B][/URL] The second is this 33mm silver (0.4823 ounce ASW) 3 (DREI) Mark (15,000 circulation and 150 proofs): [URL="http://www.coinarchives.com/w/results.php?search=M%C3%BCnzen+des+Deutschen+Kaiserreichs+Lippe+Leopold+IV.+1904-1918.+3+Mark+&s=0&results=100"][B]LIPPE-DETMOLD 1913-A 3 MARK[/B][/URL] No gold coins were authorized.
