Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1914 20 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe. The coin was issued just before the outbreak of World War I, which had a profound impact on the German economy and the value of its currency. Despite this, the coin remained in circulation throughout the war and beyond, and today it is a highly sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
