| Additional information |
Patterns of the Wilhelmine mark coinage are rarely documented with precision, and Schaaf 112/G3 sits in that frustrating middle ground — confirmed in the reference literature but with provenance that is almost never traceable. This particular die marriage was never approved for general circulation, almost certainly rejected during the routine approval process that ran through the Prussian Mint in Berlin and the Imperial Treasury simultaneously.
By 1912, the 3 Mark denomination had already seen considerable political turbulence around its portrait types following Wilhelm II's insistence on controlling his own likeness across successive issues.
