Germany 1936-A 5 mark KM-94
This specimen was lot 22673 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2020), where it sold for $630. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Third Reich. 5 Reichsmark, 1936-A. PCGS PROOF-64 Cameo Gold Shield. An attractive proof with hard mirrored fields, frosted cameo devices, and somber dark gray toning." This type of 1936-39 replaced an earlier type of 1935-36, which lacked a swastika on 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 (Dav-974). This type was also minted at Vienna ("B"), Munich ("D"), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F"), Karlsruhe ("G") and Hamburg ("J").
