Nazi Reichmark Silver Coins
The German IIIrd Reich began with the Nazi rise to power in 1933 up to its defeat in 1945 marking the end of WW2.The IIIrd Reich minted the famous Nazi Reichsmark coins using 90% Silver! Minted in various designs between 1933 and 1939, the almost solid silver of the Nazi Third Reich 5 Reichsmark coin signified the magnificence of Germany. Each coin contains approximately 1/2 ounce of pure silver. The Silver 2 Reichsmark was smaller, with the Nazi Reichseagle on the obverse side and the swastika on the reverse, and was minted in 62.5% silver.
With the advent of war and the dramatic changes that followed, the Nazis could no longer afford to continue minting the silver Reichsmark coins. Silver was needed elsewhere. So both the 2 and 5 Reichsmark silver coins were discontinued.
"Gemeinnutz geht vor Eigennutz" translates roughly to "The community comes before the individual". Minted on the edge of all IIIrd Reich silver Reichsmark coins, this typifies Nazi society. And with it comes an understanding of how any concept of individual human "rights" was at odds with the good of the collective.
Interestingly, Hitler did not feature on any Nazi German coins. Instead, prominence is was given to the famous World War One military general and later president of the Reich, Von Hindenburg.
