wonghinghi Pillar of the Community Hong Kong 1270 Posts	Posted 01/02/2016 03:17 am I know this kind of German 5 marks have two different issues, even of the same year type, there was one with Nazi swastika and the other without swastika sign. Aldof Hitler had already become the Chancellor of Germany and seized all powers in the country. Why in the year of 1936, coins without swastika still existed? Any information can answer my query? Thank you if you can help. Report this Post to the Staff
