The Nazis continued the Weimar Republic series of commemorative issues, but only for the first two years after gaining power. The first issue of 1933 commemorated the 450th Year of the Birth of Martin Luther. The second and last issue was for the 175th Year of the Birth of Friedrich Schiller. Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller; (10 November 1759 – 9 May 1805) was a German poet, philosopher, historian, and playwright.
Both Nazi commemoratives were also struck in 5 Mark denominations. This one year, one mint, issue had 300k struck. The designer was Hubert Zimmerman.
