Staatliche Münze Berlin

[1] The first mention of a Berlin mint dates back to a document from 1280.

In 1750 and 1764, Frederick II of Prussia enacted coin reforms-supported by mint master Johann Philipp Graumann.

Control of the Prussian mint industry was turned over from semi-private enterprises to the crown.

[4] In recent history several other mints operated in Germany.

These, along with their mint marks, were as follows:[5] Hannover "B" 1866-1874, Vienna "B" 1938-1944, Frankfurt "C" 1866-1879, Dresden "E" 1872-1887, Muldenhütten (Freiberg area) "E" 1887-1953, Darmstadt "H" 1872-1882,and Tabora (German East Africa) "T", 1916.
