Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 2 Reichsmark coin featuring Paul von Hindenburg is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1936, just a few years after Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party came to power, and it was used as a means of promoting the party's ideology and propaganda. The coin's design features an image of Hindenburg, a prominent German field marshal and statesman, who was seen as a symbol of German strength and patriotism. However, the coin's production was discontinued in 1939, as the Nazi regime began to shift its focus towards the war effort and the coin's silver content became less valuable. Today, the coin remains a sought-after collector's item and a piece of history that reflects the complex and tumultuous period in which it was created.
