Скачать или смотреть Silver Coin 1876 Prussian 5 Mark (146 YEARS OLD)

‪@SilverDragons47‬ Silver coins are one of my favorite things to collect. Today I picked up this Prussian silver coin for super cheap at a flea market. This silver coin is actually a Kingdom of Prussia 5 Mark coin. These were only produced for 2 years between 1874 to 1876. Only 7,562,000 were minted from 3 mints in Berlin, Hanover and Frankfurt. This silver coin bears the mint mark "B" which means it was minted in Hanover.

The federal states of the German Empire were allowed to issue their own silver coins in denominations of 2 and 5 marks from 1873. The Coinage Act of 9 July 1873 regulated how the coins were to be designed: On the obverse or image side only the state sovereign or the coat of arms of the free cities of Hamburg, Bremen or Lübeck was to be depicted, and the coin had to have a pearl circle. On the reverse or denomination side only the Imperial Eagle to a certain design was allowed. In addition, further silver coins were issued in denominations of 20 pfennigs, 50 pfennigs and 1 Mark. However, these were not stamped with a portrait of a ruler, since they were not issued by individual states.
In 1908, 3 Mark coins were minted for the first time, for which the same provisions applied as for the 2 and 5 Mark coins.
The provisions of 1873 were relaxed by the Coinage Act of 1 June 1909; other motifs could now also be depicted on commemorative coins, and the pearl circle was no longer mandatory; the value side was also allowed to have a different design.
Some coins were produced in very high numbers, such as the circulation and commemorative coins of the Kingdom of Prussia. In smaller territories with a correspondingly small population, on the other hand, there were significantly lower numbers especially of commemorative coins. Due to the First World War, on the other hand, only 100 examples were minted of the Saxon 3 Mark commemorative coin marking the 400th anniversary in 1917 and issues commemorating state anniversaries in Hesse (1917) and Bavaria (1918) were only minted in low numbers.
The coins were valid throughout the Empire, so that coins from Baden could also be used in Prussia, for example.
