Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 19th century, a period of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, which led to a significant increase in the demand for currency. Additionally, this coin was minted during the reign of Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was known for his aggressive foreign policy and military expansion, which had a profound impact on the political landscape of Europe during that time.
