| Additional information |
This piece belongs to a small series of pattern coins produced in 1945 as the Allied Military Government worked through the practical problem of supplying a functioning currency to occupied Germany. The aluminium composition was a deliberate choice — zinc and copper were still scarce and allocated for reconstruction priorities, and the lighter metal could be struck quickly using available tooling. None of these patterns entered circulation; the AMG ultimately relied on the previously prepared Allied Military Mark banknotes rather than introducing a new coinage infrastructure into a country whose mint facilities had been badly disrupted by bombing.
