The Staatliche Münze Berlin (SMB) is a European coin mint located in the city of Berlin. It is one of the four German coin mints, the others being the Staatliche Münzen Baden-Württemberg, the Bavarian State Mint, and the Hamburgische Münze. The SMB produces a fifth of all German coins.[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.[2] During these reforms. the Berlin mint received the "A" mint mark which continues to be used today.[3] The German mint system was established in 1871 with the German Coinage Act. Rather than one common national mint, mints were established in Berlin, Hamburg, Karlsruhe, Munich, and Stuttgart.[4]
