Issued to mark the first anniversary of the "Tag von Potsdam" — the carefully staged ceremony on March 21, 1933, in which Hindenburg clasped hands with Hitler at the Garrison Church, lending the new regime a veneer of Prussian legitimacy. Goebbels orchestrated that event down to the last detail, and the commemorative coinage followed the same logic: manufacture consensus through imagery.
Two varieties exist for this date, distinguished by the presence or absence of a swastika on the date side. The without-swastika variety was struck first, then quickly superseded.
