Third Reich 2 Reichsmark Coin Lot of 4 – 62.5% Silver

Product Description:  Available is a Third Reich 2 Reichsmark Coin Lot of 4 – 62.5% Silver, comprising four original silver issues selected at random from a larger group. The lot will include four random coins with dates ranging between 1936 and 1939. Struck in .625 silver, these coins represent standard mint types of the period.

All four coins are in circulated condition, exhibiting wear consistent with age and use, yet retaining sharp strikes and pleasing overall appearance. The coins are offered uncleaned as found, but can be sonically cleaned for an additional fee if desired. A desirable pairing, the Third Reich 2 Reichsmark Coin Lot of 4 – 62.5% Silver presents an accessible opportunity to acquire two iconic examples of Third Reich silver coinage.

Historical Description: Silver Reichsmark coins played both a practical and symbolic role in Germany during the early years of the Second World War. Struck primarily in .900 silver, denominations such as the 2 and 5 Reichsmark continued a long tradition of high-quality German silver coinage and were issued in limited quantities between 1933 and 1939. Designs featured nationally significant imagery, including President Paul von Hindenburg and commemorative architecture such as the Potsdam Garrison Church, reinforcing themes of German heritage, continuity, and state authority at the outset of the Nazi era.

As the war intensified, silver became a strategically important material, leading to the withdrawal of silver coins from circulation beginning in 1939. These coins were increasingly hoarded, melted down, or replaced by base-metal issues as the German economy shifted to total war production. As a result, silver Reichsmark coins saw relatively brief circulation during the wartime period, and surviving examples today serve as tangible reminders of Germany’s early wartime economy and the transition from peacetime monetary traditions to the resource-driven realities of World War II.
