Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from Hesse-Darmstadt is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1878, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire, and it features an image of Grand Duke Louis IV on one side and the Hesse-Darmstadt coat of arms on the other. The use of gold in the coin's composition also reflects the country's shift towards the gold standard during this period.
