Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 8:40 pm I've just noticed an error with the mintmark on this Germany 5 Reichsmark 1936 (KM94). Here's the full reverse - the mintmark is above the left wing. Here's a close-up of the mintmark - in hand, it looks like a 1. Possible values are A, D, E, F, G, J. Is it a badly formed A or is it what a J looks like? Report this Post to the Staff

HondoB Bedrock of the Community United States 24872 Posts	Posted 03/30/2025 9:43 pm Yes, mrwhatisit is correct - the mint mark is on the obverse below 1874. There is a picture of an 1936-J on the Numista page: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces5218.html Perhaps that is a small lamination.

Pertinax Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2133 Posts	Posted 03/31/2025 2:29 pm Thank you for the correction. I'm mortified to have made this mistake. However, that little "1" above the wing can't be lamination because it's raised like the lettering and the mintmark. Edited by Pertinax 03/31/2025 2:32 pm Report this Post to the Staff
