| Additional information |
The 1 Mark of 1924–25 was part of the Rentenmark stabilization package that ended the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1921–23. The Dawes Plan, implemented in 1924, restructured Germany's reparations obligations and unlocked foreign credit, giving the Reichsbank the breathing room to reintroduce silver coinage. Half-silver was a deliberate compromise — enough precious metal content to restore public confidence without straining reserves that had been obliterated.
The series was short-lived. Silver 1 Mark pieces were discontinued after 1925, replaced by cheaper nickel issues as the rationalization of Weimar coinage continued.
