1994-J Germany Copper 1 Pfennig KM105 Coin
1994-J Germany Copper Clad Steel 1 Pfennig KM#105 Uncirculated Coin
This 1994-J German 1 Pfennig coin is a significant piece of numismatic history from the Federal Republic of Germany. Struck at the Hamburg Mint, denoted by the J mint mark, this specimen features a copper-clad steel composition. The obverse depicts the traditional oak seedling, symbolizing growth and stability, while the reverse displays the bold numeral 1 flanked by oak leaves. As a KM#105 type, this coin represents the final coinage era of the Deutsche Mark before the transition to the Euro. This specific example remains in uncirculated condition, preserved in a protective cardboard 2x2 flip, maintaining its original copper luster and sharp structural details. It is an essential addition for collectors of European currency or those specializing in the transitionary period of German coinage.
1994-J Germany Copper-Clad Steel 1 Pfennig KM# 105 Hamburg Mint
Condition: These coins appear to be in circulated condition, exhibiting visible surface oxidation, toning, and spotting. The copper plating shows a darkened patina consistent with handling and environmental exposure, though the design elements like the oak seedling and the large numeral one remain legible. These are business strike coins minted at the Hamburg Mint (J mint mark). The metal content consists of a steel core plated with copper. Historically, the 1 Pfennig was the smallest denomination of the Deutsche Mark, which served as the official currency of West Germany and later reunified Germany until the introduction of the Euro. No professional grading is known for these specific pieces.
