Interesting fact
The 5 Mark coin from the Kingdom of Bavaria, featuring Louis II, is interesting because it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1877, just a year before the establishment of the German Empire, which unified various German states, including Bavaria, under a single government. The coin's gold content and relatively low weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
