Germany 1939B pfennig rev DSLR.jpg

This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1936-40 during the early years of the Nazi regime in Germany. It was minted at Berlin ("A"), Vienna ("B", shown here), Munich ("D"), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F"), Karlsruhe ("G"), and Hamburg ("J"). 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 97) 1940-45.

Recorded mintage: 22,732,000.

Specification: bronze.

Catalog reference: KM 89.
