Prussian Coin

Does anyone know why this coin has no mint mark?

The coin listing: N#4713

(Please include a link to the coin page when you discuss a coin listed in Numista.)

I don't see any mint mark on your image or the image on the coin page so I submitted a change request to remove the mint letter from the listing.

The pattern has a mint letter, but it was replaced with a date in the final version.

N#281216

I also fixed the same problem for the 2 Mark. N#13477

I reviewed all of the Prussia coin and pattern listings for 1910-1913 and didn't notice any other inconsistencies.

Excuse me for asking, why that piece of metal is considered as a coin and not a MEDAL?

Krause has values for those 2 Mark and 3 Mark coins (and other Prussian coins with the same denominations) in grades down to F12. Do you have evidence they didn't circulate? It appears the central government issued coins up to 1 Mark and higher denominations were issued by the states and used as money. Numista has them as “Circulating commemorative coin”.

(Even if they didn't circulate the standard would be to consider them coins. For example, see the 1982 ½ Dollar (George Washington)).

No proof at all, I'm just wondering…
