ElleKitty Pillar of the Community United States 819 Posts	Posted 09/24/2007 12:14 am Those all appear to be German. 2 pfennig, 1975 G 1 pfennig, 1949 F 5 pfennig, 1949 G 10 pfennig, 1910 A 5 pfennig, 1921 (can't see what it is) German coins bear a mint mark, indicating where the coin was minted. D indicates Munich, F Stuttgart, G Karlsruhe and J Hamburg. Coins minted during WW2 include the mint marks A (Berlin) and B (Vienna). The mint mark A was also used for DM coins minted in Berlin beginning in 1990 following the reunification of Germany. The Weimar Republic is the term given to describe the German state (officially named the German Reich (Deutsches Reich) given to Germany from 1919 to 1933. The republic was nicknamed "Weimar Republic" by historians after the city of Weimar, where a national assembly convened to write and adopt a new constitution (which became effective on August 11, 1919) for the German Reich following the nation's defeat in World War I. The first DM coins were issued by the Bank deutscher Länder in 1948 and 1949. From 1950, the inscription Bundesrepublik Deutschland (Federal Republic of Germany) appeared on the coins.

chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 09/25/2007 3:45 pm The first one (2 Pf 1975) is from the Federal Republic of Germany. The next two are from the German Empire under allied occupation (those pieces were issued in the Western zones after the 1948 currency reform). The third one is from the German Empire (monarchy). The fourth one is from the post-WW1 republic; they continued to use the "imperial eagle" design until 1922. Christian Report this Post to the Staff
Zaggy Valued Member Australia 432 Posts	Posted 10/06/2007 10:00 pm ElleKitty pretty much covered it... Just to add to that post... 1. 1975G 2Pfennig (J.381a) - (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) West Germany - Produced at Karlsruhe. 60,145,120 produced 2. 1949F 1 Pfennig (J.376) - (Bank Deutscher Länder) West Germany - Produced at Stuttgart (in the basement of the mint actually). 129,935,333 produced, but that coin may actually be worth a little bit. There were only two minting years, 1948 and 1949. 3. 1949G 5 Pfennig (J.377) - (Bank Deutscher Länder) West Germany under Allied Occupation - Produced at Karlsruhe, only one minting. 57,356,202 produced, the smalled of the mintings. Also could be worth something! 4. 1910A 10 Pfennig (J.13) - (Kaiserreich) German Empire - Produced at Berlin, 3,734,193 produced. Curiously, my reference values this lower than the Deutscher Länder coins! They were produced though, from 1890-1916. 5. 1921x 5 Pfennig (J.297) - (Kaiserreich/Weimar) German Empire - Whilst the 'Weimarer' era started in 1919, this coin design is a left over from the Kaiserreich era. The coin was produced from 1915-1922. Production figures were (A) 143,418,372 (D) 38,132,799 (E) 21,104,000 (F) 24,800,000 (G) 21,289,023 (J) 28,928,224. I dont know if its worth much... OK, now, Mints for the Period's were dealing with: Kaiserreich (1871-1919) (A) Berlin (D) München (E) Muldenhütten (F) Stuttgart (G) Karlsruhe (J) Hamburg Weimarer Republik (1919-1933) (A) Berlin (D) München (E) Muldenhütten (F) Stuttgart (G) Karlsruhe (J) Hamburg Bank Deutscher Länder (Bundesrepublik)(1948-1949) (D) München (F) Stuttgart (G) Karlsruhe (J) Hamburg * A and E were in the Soviet Occupied Area's Bundesrepublik (1950- (D) München (F) Stuttgart (G) Karlsruhe (J) Hamburg *A continued to operate under the Soviets, E operated until 1953 Report this Post to the Staff
