Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Mark coin from the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg is that it features an image of Frederick August, the last Grand Duke of Oldenburg, on one side, and an image of the Oldenburg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Germany, as the various German states were in the process of becoming unified under a single government. Despite this, the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg maintained its independence until 1918, when it was abolished and became part of the Weimar Republic. Today, coins like this one are highly sought after by collectors and can fetch high prices at auction.
