Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 3.982 g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1872, just a year after the formation of the German Empire, which was a significant turning point in German history. The coin's design, featuring an image of King Wilhelm I on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolized the newfound unity and power of the German nation. Additionally, the use of gold as the material for the coin reflected the country's growing economic prosperity and its desire to establish itself as a major player in international trade and finance.
