Comment
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value of 10,000 Marks was a significant amount at the time, and its gold plating and tombac composition made it a valuable and sought-after collector's item. Despite its value, the coin was not circulated and was instead kept as a collector's item or used as a store of value. This coin is a unique piece of history that highlights the economic struggles of post-World War I Germany and the creative solutions that were implemented to address them.
