Struck in 100% zinc to replace strategic copper and nickel needed for munitions, this \"Kriegsgeld\" (war money) features the Reichsadler (Imperial Eagle) clutching a wreathed swastika on the obverse. While the Berlin (A) mint produced over 550 million units this year, the Stuttgart \"F\" mintage was significantly lower at approximately 90.7 million, making it a scarcer find for mint-mark specialists. Zinc is notoriously reactive; specimens that have avoided \"zinc pest\"—intergranular corrosion that causes white powder and pitting—command a premium among historical collectors. This piece serves as a tangible record of the logistical shifts within the Third Reich as resources became increasingly scarce. Please see high-resolution photos for detail on the eagle's plumage and to evaluate the stability of the zinc surface.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"None","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53107371311467,"sku":null,"price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0968\/0669\/9371\/files\/2026-04-15-mBaTnAba-IMG_4642.jpg?v=1776273624","url":"https:\/\/myconsignmentstore.com\/products\/b524d1-1942-f-german-1-reichspfennig-swastika-coin","provider":"My Consignment Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
