| Additional information |
The Weimar Constitution of August 1919 enshrined women's suffrage in Germany, though the first actual exercise of that right had come earlier — women voted in the January 1919 National Assembly elections, the first in German history to permit it. That election was also the one that produced the assembly which drafted the Weimar Constitution itself, making the sequence somewhat circular.
This coin was issued by the Federal Ministry of Finance under Germany's ongoing commemorative silver program, which has run continuously since 2002 with face value pieces rarely if ever spent.
