Interesting fact
The 5 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, featuring Louis II, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted between 1874 and 1876, a period when the German States were transitioning from independent states to a unified Germany. This coin is a symbol of that transition and represents a significant moment in German history.
