What types of German coins do you sell?
This collection includes a mix of German coins across different periods, with stock varying over time. You’ll find a range of denominations and designs, including mark and pfennig issues and some older types.
What currency did Germany use before the euro?
Germany used the Deutsche Mark before adopting the euro. Many German coins you’ll see today are from the mark and pfennig era, alongside older denominations.
What do “pfennig”, “Reichspfennig” and “Reichsmark” mean on German coins?
These are German denominations from different periods. Pfennig were smaller values used with the mark, while Reichspfennig and Reichsmark refer to older coinage from earlier eras. You’ll see the denomination and date on each coin, and the listing details confirm the type.
Are German coins still legal tender?
Older mark, pfennig, Reichspfennig and Reichsmark coins are no longer used in everyday spending. Today they’re mainly bought and sold as collectable coins.
Which German coins are silver?
Some German coins were issued in silver, including certain mark denominations such as 2 mark, 5 mark and 10 mark types in some periods. Metal content depends on the specific coin and year, so check each product description for details.
Are German coins worth anything, and what affects value?
Many are, but value varies widely. It usually depends on the coin’s type, date, condition, collector demand and, for some issues, metal content. Common coins in lower condition can be modestly priced, while scarcer types and better condition examples can be worth more.
