| Additional information |
Lübeck was among the smallest sovereign issuers within the German Empire, a city-state of roughly 100,000 people exercising the right to strike its own coinage under imperial law. The 5 Mark pieces issued between 1904 and 1913 represent the final chapter of that privilege — the city lost its minting rights entirely with the consolidation that followed World War I, and no Lübeck coinage was produced after 1913. Mintages were modest by imperial standards, keeping surviving examples relatively scarce compared to the major state issues from Prussia or Bavaria.
