Comment
Mint letter H - DarmstadtInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mark - Wilhelm I (type 1 - large shield) coin is that it was minted during a time of significant economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1873, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire in 1871, and it was minted until 1887, a year before the death of Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor. During this time, Germany was undergoing rapid industrialization and economic growth, and the coin reflects this change, as it was made of silver, a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring a large shield with the German eagle and the inscription "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire), symbolized the newfound unity and power of the German nation.
