This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1936-40 during the early years of the Nazi regime in [[Germany]]. The "B" mintmark is for the Vienna mint, which was operated as a German branch mint 1938-44. For a race of Aryan supermen, the Nazis were remarkably unimaginative coin designers and this type is quite dull. It was replaced by an even more boring zinc issue (KM 100) 1940-44.

''Recorded mintage:'' 3,447,000.

''Specification:'' 2.44 g, aluminum bronze, 18.1 mm diameter.

''Catalog reference:'' KM 91.
