Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features an image of Frederick III, the King of Prussia, while the reverse features the Prussian eagle with the value "5 Mark" inscribed above it. What's interesting is that this coin was never actually circulated, as it was only a pattern coin created for testing purposes. Despite this, it remains a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
