Comment
Silver medal struck in the size and weight of a 5 mark coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Albert (800 years house of Wettin; Kingdom of Saxony) 1889 from Kingdom of Saxony (Albertinian Line) (German States) made of Silver is that it features a unique design that was never actually used on any circulating coins. The obverse of the coin depicts the portrait of King Albert of Saxony, while the reverse features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wettin, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was intended to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the House of Wettin, which had ruled Saxony for centuries. However, the coin was never released into circulation and only a small number of pattern coins were struck, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
