Capital: Saarbrucken. It is an important center of mining and heavy industry. From the late 14th century until the fall of Napoleon, the city of Saarbrucken was ruled by the counts of Nassau- Saarbrucken, but the surrounding territory was subject to the political and cultural domination of France. At the close of the Napoleonic era, the Saarland came under the control of Prussia. France was awarded the Saar coal mines following World War I, and the Saarland was made an autonomous territory of the League of Nations, its future political affiliation to be determined by referendum. The plebiscite, 1935, chose re-incorporation into Germany. France reoccupied the Saarland, 1945, establishing strong economic ties and assuming the obligation of defense and foreign affairs. After sustained agitation by West Germany, France agreed in 1955, to the return of the Saar to Germany by Jan. 1957. MINT MARK (a) - Paris - privy marks only
