Germany-Rep. Weimar Coins
Germany's monetary history during the Weimar Republic (1918-1933) was marked by unprecedented hyperinflation and drastic changes in the monetary system. This turbulent period left an indelible mark on German and world numismatics.
Hyperinflation and its monetary consequences
After World War I, Germany faced a severe economic crisis that culminated in the hyperinflation of 1923. During this time, banknotes were issued in astronomical denominations, with one banknote of 100 billion marks being printed. Currency lost so much value that people used banknotes as wallpaper or fuel for stoves. This situation led to the introduction of the Rentenmark in November 1923, followed by the Reichsmark in 1924, temporarily stabilizing the economy.
Numismatics of the Weimar Republic
The numismatics of this period is fascinating and diverse. Commemorative coins such as the silver 3 Reichsmark were minted with historical and cultural motifs. Emergency coins (Notgeld) were also issued by cities and private companies due to the shortage of precious metals. These pieces, often made of unconventional materials such as porcelain or aluminum, are now highly sought-after collector's items. The design of the coins reflected the spirit of the times, with symbols of the republic and allegories of economic recovery, making them tangible testimonies to a tumultuous period in German history.
