Interesting fact
The 10 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, minted in 1888 during the reign of Otto, features an interesting design element - a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the coat of arms of Bavaria. This wreath was a symbol of strength and durability, reflecting the cultural significance of oak trees in German heritage. Additionally, the coin's gold composition (90% gold, 10% other metals) and relatively small weight (3.982 grams) make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in German history and coinage.
