| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold left-facing portrait bust of Freiherr Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein, the celebrated Prussian statesman and reformer, rendered in high relief in a sculptural, medallic style. The subject is depicted unadorned, with short hair brushed back and period attire visible at the collar and neckline. The commemorative dates 1831 - 1931, marking the centenary of his death, are incised along the lower right field and the bottom exergual area, framing the portrait without additional legend. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Karl vom Stein, the Prussian reformer who dismantled serfdom and restructured the Prussian state after Napoleonic occupation, was an odd choice for a cash-strapped Weimar government to commemorate in 1931 — the Republic was collapsing under deflation and mass unemployment, and this piece never advanced beyond the pattern stage. The timing was not coincidental: Weimar politicians repeatedly reached back to Prussian reformers as symbols of national resilience, a rhetorical strategy that grew increasingly hollow as the government itself lost credibility.
The .500 fine silver composition matches the circulating Reichsmark standard of the period, suggesting this was a serious production proposal rather than a purely experimental strike.
