Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The Kingdom of Saxony, which was a state within the German Empire, was ruled by King George, who reigned from 1902 to 1904. During his reign, there was a significant increase in industrialization and urbanization, which led to a growing demand for currency. As a result, the 10 Mark coin was minted to meet this demand and was widely used throughout the kingdom. Despite being made of gold, the coin was still relatively accessible to the average person, and it played an important role in the economy of the time.
