1 Reichsmark Pattern

The 1933 Reichsmark patterns represent the Nazi regime's earliest attempts to redesign German coinage following Hitler's appointment as Chancellor in January of that year. Several competing designs were submitted and struck as patterns before the eventual circulating types were finalized. Schaaf 354/G 2 is among a documented series of nickel trials, most of which never left official hands and survive today in very small numbers, primarily from institutional collections that were dispersed after 1945.
