Additional information

West Germany's 1951 coinage program required rapid decisions about what the new Federal Republic would put in its citizens' pockets. Several competing designs were struck as patterns before the final types were confirmed, and this copper-nickel piece is among those trial strikings — never authorized for circulation, produced in strictly limited quantities for official evaluation. The Staatliche Münze Baden-Württemberg, the Stuttgart facility, was one of the mints competing for production contracts in the early Bundesrepublik framework.

KM# Pn10 pattern survivors appear occasionally in specialist German auctions but rarely with solid provenance chains back to the original evaluation process.
