Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Grand Duchy of Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted in 1901, just a few years before the fall of the German Empire and the end of the monarchies in Germany. Despite this, the coin still features the image of Grand Duke William Ernest, who ruled the Grand Duchy from 1853 until his death in 1901. This coin is a tangible reminder of a bygone era and the tumultuous period of German history during the early 20th century.
