Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1873, just a year after the Franco-Prussian War, which had caused significant economic strain on the country. Despite this, the coin was made of gold (.900) and had a relatively high denomination of 20 Mark, indicating that it was intended to be a valuable and reliable form of currency. This fact highlights the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Mecklenburg-Strelitz during a time of economic uncertainty.
