Germany 1931-F 5 mark Dav-966
This specimen was lot 41619 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2023), where it sold for $288. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Weimar Republic. 5 Mark, 1931-F. Stuttgart Mint. NGC MS-64. Oak Tree type." This type, issued 1927-33, was struck in large numbers in Berlin ("A"), Munich ("D"), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F", shown here), Karlsruhe ("G") and Hamburg ("J"). It is, however, expensive; perhaps they were melted during World War Two. We have included it in our category of thalers based on its size, even tho it is only 0.500 fine.
Recorded mintage: 4,152,000, a somewhat better date.
Specification: 25 g, 0.500 fine silver, .401 troy oz ASW, 37 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: Dav-966; KM-56; J-331.
