Germany. (No reserve price)

A curated mixed lot of historic German coinage spanning the late Imperial period, the Weimar Republic era, and the Nazi Germany period, assembled with strong visual emphasis on eagle motifs, denomination transitions, and political iconography across multiple German monetary systems. The collection prominently includes silver-colored and base-metal issues of the German Empire and later German states, with clearly identifiable 50 Pfennig pieces dated 1920, 1921, and 1922, several 10 Pfennig and 5 Pfennig denominations from the Deutsches Reich, and multiple copper and bronze minor coins bearing the imperial eagle associated with pre-war minting under the German federal monetary structure.

Visible within the group are several attractive 50 Pfennig pieces marked “Deutsches Reich,” including large aluminum examples from the hyperinflation years and transitional coinage from the early 1920s, alongside 10 Pfennig coins dated 1911 and 1920, 5 Pfennig examples dated 1918 and 1921, and multiple 2 Pfennig pieces from the same monetary sequence. Several imperial eagle reverses are clearly identifiable from the pre-1918 German imperial design language, including coins likely struck under mints such as Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Stuttgart, and Karlsruhe, where mint letters such as A, D, F, G, J, and E were historically used. A bright example of a silver-toned 1 Reichspfennig-style eagle issue appears together with broad eagle reverses from imperial and republican circulation strikes, giving the lot strong appeal for collectors of German heraldic coinage.

The collection also contains multiple politically sensitive Third Reich circulation issues, including 2 Reichspfennig and 1 Reichspfennig pieces dated 1937, 1942, and 1943, with eagle-over-wreath types and swastika devices typical of wartime mint output under Berlin and other German mint facilities. These coins are historically important circulation artifacts from the wartime Reich economy and are preserved here strictly as numismatic objects within a broader historical context. A gold-colored 5 Reichspfennig type and several bronze 2 Reichspfennig examples show differing patina levels, including original brown surfaces, oxidation, and green verdigris consistent with long storage.

Also visible are earlier German imperial copper types featuring the large crowned eagle used during the reigns of Wilhelm II and his predecessors, including likely 1 Pfennig and 2 Pfennig pieces from the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Several larger eagle reverses with broad feather detail suggest Imperial German bronze and cupro-nickel circulation pieces from the decades before the First World War, while one silver-toned coin reading “Bank von 1923” references emergency inflation-era tokenized monetary production associated with the severe economic crisis of the hyperinflation year.

The lot is further strengthened by mixed preservation states: sharply struck examples with strong legends sit beside circulated pieces showing honest wear, partial corrosion, edge knocks, and field toning. Several coins retain readable dates and denomination legends, making the group suitable for attribution by mint year, denomination sequence, and political period. The visual range—from imperial eagle, republican eagle, and wartime eagle motifs to inflation-era typography—creates a coherent survey of German coinage development across monarchy, republic, and dictatorship.

As a curated collector group, this assortment offers substantial search value for German numismatics, Reich coin collectors, eagle motif specialists, and historians of European circulation coinage, with identifiable dates, denominations, mint-era symbolism, and historically distinct design phases from Imperial Germany through interwar and wartime German monetary history.
