This specimen is a common date of a series struck 1936-39 during the early years of the Nazi regime in Germany. It honored Paul Hindenburg, president of Germany when the Nazis came to power in 1933. 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 a blatant rip-off of the Polish ten zlotych of 1934-39.
Recorded mintage: 13,163,000.
Specification: 8 g, 0.625 fine silver, 27 mm diameter, .1607 troy oz ASW.
