1918 German Empire Silver 1/2 Mark NGC MS67

The Last Silver Coin Issued By Imperial Germany

Imperial Germany, the so-called Second Reich, represented the unification of 26 German states with Prussia being the largest and most powerful. Throughout its 47 years of existence, the German Empire was an industrial, technological, and scientific giant with an economy that was the largest in Europe and second in the world only to the United States. That all came crashing down in World War I—a conflict that gave way not only to the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II, but the abolishment of Germany’s constitutional monarchy altogether.

The Backbone Of German Commerce

As one might expect, the intensely turbulent years of the First World War also witnessed the last silver coins issued by the German Empire—gleaming Half, One and Three Mark silver pieces that were the backbone of German commerce even as Allied blockades took a deathly toll on Germany’s civilian population. In fact, as the war ground on, many people began hoarding these coins as a hedge against the skyrocketing costs of even the most basic items required to survive in increasingly meagre living conditions.
