Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1872, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire, and it features an image of King Charles I on one side and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the kingdom's wealth and power, and it was intended to be used as a medium of exchange for large transactions. Despite its value, the coin was not widely used and is now considered a rare collector's item.
