The coins from the period of the “Weimar Republic” - the German Empire from 1919 to 1933 - are among Europe's most artistically appealing and attractive issues of the past 200 years! One issue stands out in particular: the 5 Reichsmark “Oak Tree” commemorative coin in silver with its delicately designed branches and oak leaves.

The “oak tree” – always a symbol of strength and steadfastness in Germany – was chosen as the motif for a 5 Reichsmark commemorative coin minted from 1927. This coin was intended to reflect the spirit of optimism among the people after the difficult period of hyperinflation: people experienced new confidence with the economic upswing.

When designing the detailed silver coin, the artist Professor Maximilian Dasio took a pedunculate oak tree in Kellenhusen in Schleswig-Holstein, which still exists today, as a model: The age of this tree is estimated to be around 350 years. With its 26 meters height and a trunk circumference of 6 meters, it is one of the largest oaks in Germany.
