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 and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in 1874, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire in 1871, and it features an image of Frederick William, the Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during Frederick William's reign, which aimed to promote the region's economy and increase its influence within the German Empire. Despite being made of gold, the coin was designed to be used as a circulating coin, highlighting the value and wealth of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz.
