Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 7.965g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1913, just a year before the outbreak of World War I, and it was used as a means of currency during a period of rapid inflation and economic instability. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained in circulation until 1915, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany during this period and serves as a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
