The 20-mark gold coin, a safe bet

The German mark was officially created in 1873. However, the first coins were struck in 1871. Following the defeat of the French in 1870, the German States unified to create the second German empire. They decided on a new currency at the time: the Reichsmark. However, although the country was unified, the Reichsmark was struck in seven principalities, 54 kingdoms, six grand duchies, five duchies and three free cities.
