Germany 1923-D 200 mark

from the Mountain Groan Collection

This coin is an aluminum 200 mark from a type issued 1923 only from six mints, including Munich (mintmark "D"). Under the German Empire of 1871-1918, the denominations of two mark and up were permitted for the formerly independent principalities while the lower denominations (one pfennig thru one mark) were minted to a unified design. Soon after this issue, the German mark collapsed completely, destroying the savings of the German middle class and radicalizing it.

Recorded mintage: 13,683,000 plus proofs.

Specification: 1.67 g, aluminum, 27.1 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM 36.
