This type of 1935-36 makes no reference to the newly installed Nazi regime; the issue of 1936-39 ([[Germany 1936-A 5 mark KM-94|KM 94]]) added a swastika to the reverse. Though the size of a half dollar, its higher fineness meant that it contained the same amount of silver as the larger five mark of the Weimar Republic such as the Goethe commemorative ([[Germany 1932-D 5 mark Dav-974|Dav-974]]).
