Germany 1923A 200 mark rev DSLR.jpg

The first specimen was lot 44479 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $85. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. 200 Mark, 1923-A. Berlin Mint. PCGS PROOF-66. Hyperinflationary issue. A Gem with strong frosty luster throughout." This coin is an aluminum 200 mark from a type issued 1923 only from six mints, including the Berlin (mintmark "A") 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: 174,900,000 + proofs.

Specification: 1 g, aluminum, 23 mm diameter, reeded edge.

Catalog reference: KM-35; J-304.
