Historical Background of Silver Coins
The Weimar Republic and the Role of Commemorative Coins
This 3-Reichsmark silver coin was issued in 1927 during the Weimar Republic (1918–1933), a period of post-World War I chaos.
At the time, Germany had just overcome hyperinflation and established the Reichsmark system through currency reform.
Commemorative coins played an important role in restoring national credibility and demonstrating the importance of culture, industry, and port cities both domestically and internationally.
The Significance of the 100th Anniversary of the Port of Bremerhaven
This silver coin was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the founding of Bremerhaven, an important port city in Northern Germany.
Bremerhaven has also been known as a port of immigration from Germany to the Americas since the 19th century, with millions of people departing from the port to embark on their journey to the New World.
This silver coin is not simply a commemorative coin for the city; it also symbolizes Germany's history of shipping, trade, and immigration.
Design Highlights
The obverse features a powerful depiction of the Reichsadler eagle, the symbol of the German nation, with a shield.
The background decoration has a subdued composition typical of the Weimar period, emphasizing the symbolism of the republic, which differs from that of the imperial era.
The reverse features a scene of a sailing ship and harbor, with the inscription "HUNDERT JAHRE BREMERHAVEN (100 Years of Bremerhaven)."
The ship is not merely decorative; it is a motif symbolizing trade, immigration, and the nation's future.
