Collecting German States coins is an enjoyable, lifelong pursuit. You’ll find a wide variety of denominations, including Stubers, Pfennigs, Thalers(and their fractions and multiples), Groschen, Batzen, Hellers, and so many more. Most German States coins are reasonably priced and hundreds of them, if not thousands, can be purchased for under $20.
Most collectors of German States coins fall into two categories: 1) those who seek one coin from each issuing entity or 2) those who focus on a particular issuing entity.
This list includes coins from the German states, regions and cities from 1500 up. Prior to the establishment of the German Empire in 1871, German coinage consisted of a variety of different denominations that were unique to a given region or city/state. The poorer entities issued copper or low-grade silver coins while the richer areas produced large silver coins or glittering gold coins. After Germany became an Empire in 1871, the individual states (such as Hamburg, Prussia, Saxony, and others) continued to issue coins, but they all had a unified reverse consisting of a German eagle with a shield on its breast and a crown atop its head. Likewise, the denominations became more unified to symbolize the cooperation of the states in the new Empire.
This list was updated on April 29, 2022. To order, simply copy a list of the coins in which you have an interest, then email the list to me at ron@germancoins.com. I will respond by letting you know what is available and a total cost. Or, if it is easier, simply call me at 858-349-8270. Thanks!
