Comment

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 5 Mark coin from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Silver (.900) (Ag 900, Cu 100) weighing 27.777g is that it was minted during the reign of Wilhelm II, who was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. He ruled from 1888 to 1918, and his reign saw the coinage of several different denominations of marks, including this 5 Mark coin. The coin features Wilhelm II's portrait on one side and the Prussian eagle on the other. It's interesting to note that the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time, and it's still highly collectible today.
