This type was produced at four mints (Munich, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe and Hamburg) in 1950 in such numbers that no more were struck until 1966. The Munich mint mark was "D". The Berlin mint began striking these in 1990, after unification. The denomination was struck only for collector sets after 1996 and was retired in 2001 with the coming of the euro.
Recorded mintage: 52,325,000 plus 8,000 proofs.
Specification: 3 g, brass plated steel, 18.5 mm diameter, plain edge.
