Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from Anhalt-Dessau is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1896, just a few years before the formation of the German Empire in 1871, and it features an image of Frederick I, the last ruler of the House of Ascania, who ruled Anhalt-Dessau from 1871 until his death in 1901. The coin's gold content and intricate design make it a valuable collector's item today, and its historical significance is a testament to the complex political and economic landscape of late 19th and early 20th century Germany.
