Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1894, just a few years after the country had experienced a severe economic crisis, known as the "Founders' Crisis," which had led to a period of high unemployment and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the coin was still made of gold (.900) and had a relatively high value, weighing 7.965 grams. This suggests that the kingdom was still committed to maintaining the value of its currency, even during difficult economic times.
