Product Information

The 1936 Third Reich 5 Reichsmark was minted in Germany during an unforgettable and tragic historical era. This coin, of Swastika-Hindenburg issue, is a silver struck coin that can be of immense worth to many collectors. This item can have appeal not only for coin collectors, but for collectors of WWII memorabilia as well. Though these silver coins were common at the advent of the Second World War, Germany stopped minting some of them later on due to the need for silver elsewhere in the war effort. Eventually, the production of 2 Reichsmark and 5 Reichsmark coins was halted. The front of the coin features the bust of Paul von Hindenburg, second President of the Weimar Republic (a specific denomination for the German political state between the years of 1919 and 1933.) On the reverse face, you can see a German eagle standing atop a wreath, inside of which is the iconic swastika. Along the bottom of the coin are the words ’Deutsches Reich 1939.’ The coin’s composition is silver, at a fineness of 0.9000. The total weight of the 1936 Third Reich 5 Reichsmark is 13.88 grams, while the ASW is measured at 0.4016 ounces. The diameter of this coin is 29 mm. Adolph Hilter was never featured on German coins during WWII, though he was featured on commemorative coins and tokens, some made during the war and some after. Paul von Hindenburg was pictured on this line of coins thanks to his military prowess as a general during the First World War. Eventually, Hindenburg would become the second President of Germany in 1925; his term ended in 1934 with his death. Though he was in his 80s during the final election process, Hindenburg was convinced to run for office as he was considered the only one with enough support to defeat Adolf Hilter at the polls. Though Hindenburg was opposed to Hilter’s philosphies, he ultimately was pressured into naming him the Chancellor of Germany. When Hindenburg died, Hilter announced the end of the German Presidency and assumed ultimate power of the nation. Reichmarks were used until 1948 when under Allied occupation, the circulation of Deutsche Marks was begun. In 2002, the Deutsche Mark was abandoned for the common currency of the European Union, the Euro. Third Reich 5 Reichsmarks, as well as Third Reich 2 Reichsmarks, can be particularly collectible because of the fact that Germany stopped pressing them during the Second World War. Other coins of lesser material value continued being minted until after the war, under Allied influence.
