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 1893, just a few years after the country had experienced a severe economic crisis, known as the "Founders' Crisis," which had a significant impact on the German economy. Despite this, the coin was made of gold (.900) and had a relatively high value, reflecting the wealth and prosperity of the region at the time.
