SB821-44478r.jpg

This specimen was lot 44478 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $312. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. 500 Mark, 1923-G. Karlsruhe Mint. PCGS PROOF-65 Deep Cameo Gold Shield. A flashy, untoned Proof with hard mirrored fields and frosted cameo devices." This coin is an aluminum 500 mark from a type issued 1923 only from six mints, including the Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") mint. 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. This coin was issued in the middle of the infamous hyperinflation, destroying the savings of the German middle class and radicalizing it.

Recorded mintage: 7,963,000 + proofs.

Specification: 1.67 g, aluminum, 27.1 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-36; J-305.
