| Additional information |
The aluminium 1 Reichsmark pattern of 1935 was part of a broader wartime-preparation effort by the Nazi regime to test base-metal compositions as substitutes for the nickel coinage then in circulation. Germany was aggressively stockpiling strategic metals by the mid-1930s, and aluminium trials were conducted across multiple denominations before production decisions were finalized. Nickel ultimately retained its place in the 1 Reichsmark series for the immediate term, making this pattern a dead end administratively.
Patterns of this type rarely left official channels and survive in very small numbers.
