Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Prussia is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1874, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire, and it was used as a standard circulation coin throughout the empire. The coin's design features an image of King William I on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other, symbolizing the power and unity of the German states. The use of gold in the coin's minting also reflects the country's growing economic prosperity during this time.
