Germany · 1938 · 1 pfennigSeries of bronze 1 Reichspfennig with the eagle (1936-1940)
This bronze 1 Reichspfennig coin belongs to the series that the Third Reich introduced in 1936 to replace the types of the Weimar Republic. The eagle with outspread wings holds a swastika within a wreath, above the legend DEUTSCHES REICH and the date. This type, still struck in a copper alloy, was abandoned in 1940: as copper was reserved for armaments, the small denominations switched to zinc. The 1938 date has 14,503,000 pieces in Muldenhütten.
Actual size compared with the 2 € and 1 € coins. Thickness: 1.2 mm.
