1934-A German 2 Mark (2 Reichsmark) Potsdam Garrison Church Coin. The back of the coin features the Potsdam Garrison Church. The front has the Imperial German eagle dividing the date and denomination below. The edge of the coin has the inscription “GEMEINNUTZ GEHT VOR EIGENNUTZ”. Worn condition.

Additional Notes: The 2 Reichsmark coin, particularly the version featuring Paul von Hindenburg, is a notable piece of German numismatic history, primarily made of silver and minted during the Third Reich era. The coin typically features a portrait of Paul von Hindenburg on the obverse, with the inscription “Paul von Hindenburg” and the year of minting. The reverse often displays an eagle holding a wreath, along with the denomination and the inscription “Deutsches Reich” (German Empire). The 2 Reichsmark coins were primarily made from silver, specifically 0.625 silver content (or 62.5% silver), with a total weight of approximately 10 grams. However, during certain periods, other metals like nickel were used due to shortages.

The silver commemorative 2 Reichsmark issued in 1934 to mark the “Day of Potsdam” (21 March 1933), a propaganda ceremony symbolizing the supposed unity between old Prussian militarism (Hindenburg) and the new ww2 Germany regime features the Potsdam Garrison Church instead of the portrait of Hindenburg.
