Germany 1932-D 5 mark Dav-966
This specimen was lot 1567 in Jean Elsen sale 112 (Brussels, March 2012) where it sold for € 90 (about US$141 including buyer's fee). The catalog description[1] noted,
"ALLEMAGNE, République de Weimar, (1919-1933), AR 5 Reichsmark, 1932 D, Très Beau à Superbe. (Germany, Weimar republic, 1919-33, silver five mark of 1932. Very fine to extremely fine.)"
This type, issued 1927-33, was struck in large numbers in Berlin ("A"), Munich ("D", shown here), Muldenhutten ("E"), Stuttgart ("F"), Karlsruhe ("G") and Hamburg ("J"). It is, however, expensive; perhaps they were melted during World War Two. We have included it in our category of thalers based on its size, even tho it is only 0.500 fine.
Recorded mintage: 8,556,000.
Specification: 25 g, 0.500 fine silver, .401 troy oz ASW, 37 mm diameter.
