This batch captures the brief but critical transition period between the end of WWII and the formal establishment of the Federal Republic of Germany. Minted in 1948 and 1949, these coins bear the inscription "BANK DEUTSCHER LÄNDER" instead of the later official state name. This series includes the first post-war 1, 5, 10, and 50 Pfennig denominations, featuring the iconic oak seedling on the bronze issues and the "Woman Planting a Tree" design on the 50 Pfennig. These coins represent the rebirth of German currency and the stabilization of the economy in the Western sectors.
