1914-1918 German Empire Silver Mark 3-pc Set

The Last Silver Coins of Imperial Germany

Imperial Germany, the so-called Second Reich, represented the unification of 26 German states with Prussia being the largest and most powerful. Throughout its 47 years of existence, the German Empire was an industrial, technological, and scientific giant with an economy that was the largest in Europe and second in the world only to the United States. That all came crashing down in World War I – a conflict that gave way not only to the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but the abolishment of Germany’s constitutional monarchy altogether.

As one might expect, the intensely turbulent years of the First World War also witnessed the last silver coins issued by the German Empire – gleaming Half, One and Three Mark silver pieces that were the backbone of German commerce even as Allied blockades took a deathly toll on Germany’s civilian population. In fact, as the war ground on, many people began hoarding these coins as a hedge against the skyrocketing costs of even the most basic items required to survive in increasingly meagre living conditions.

Now you can obtain all three of these coins in one historic set. Each coin in this offer was minted in highly pure 90% fine silver and was struck from 1914-1918. Both the nickel-sized 1/2 Mark and the quarter-sized 1 Mark feature the crowned Germanic Eagle on the reverse and the denomination on the obverse. These two coins also come graded in Extremely Fine to About Uncirculated (XF-AU) condition with lots of nice detail.

The large half dollar-sized 3 Mark silver coin also features the Germanic Eagle on the reverse but differs from the other coins thanks to its portrait of Kaiser Wilhelm II decked out in military attire on the obverse. The eldest grandchild of Great Britain’s Queen Victoria, Wilhelm became the personification of Germany’s wicked and wanton warmongering to the British public. Graded in gleaming Uncirculated condition, this coin is the centerpiece to this epic collection.
