Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Mark coin from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.777g is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick III, who was the last king of Prussia and the first German Emperor. He ruled from 1888 until his death in 1888, and his reign saw the unification of Germany under Prussian leadership. This coin was minted to commemorate his reign and is a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
