Aluminium 3 mark of 1922

The coin's story

This aluminium 3 mark coin was struck in 1922 under the Weimar Republic, as inflation was accelerating. It bears no legend on the obverse, only the displayed eagle engraved by Josef Wackerle. The reverse, by Reinhard Kullrich, bears the value and the date surrounded by DEUTSCHES REICH, with the mint letter between two oak branches. This type was struck only in 1922, and the date has 15,496,695 pieces in Berlin. On 15 November 1923, the Rentenmark replaced the paper mark at a rate of one trillion marks to one Rentenmark. The coin ceased to be legal tender on 11 October 1924.
