Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1905, just a few years before the fall of the German Empire and the end of the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II. This time of transition and upheaval is reflected in the design of the coin, which features an image of Charles Eduard, the last reigning duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, on one side, and the German imperial eagle on the other. Despite the changes taking place in Germany at the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
