Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1896, just a few years after the country had experienced a severe economic crisis, known as the "Founder's Crisis," which had led to a period of high unemployment and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coin was still made of gold, which speaks to the value and importance of the currency at the time.
