The German Goldmark was a currency used throughout the German Empire from 1873 to 1914 and issued as the official gold legal tender option of the empire. Although the Goldmark was issued by the German Empire during the aforementioned era, there were other German gold coins with a denomination in marks prior to the unification of German states. The 10 Mark Gold Coin is currently available to you here today from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Various German states co-existed prior to 1871, with each issuing their own various coins and denominations. The German Mark was officially established in 1873 by the German Empire two years after the unification of the states, but states like Prussia had issued 10 Mark Gold Coins just before the wider adoption of the mark.
The 10 Mark German Gold Coin is harder to come by than its 20 Mark counterpart, but not quite as rare as the 5 Mark German Gold Coin. These were the only denominations in the German Goldmark during the German Empire’s existence from 1871 to 1918, and the coins often featured the depiction of the Emperor of Germany.
On the obverse of 10 Mark Gold Coins from Germany, you’ll predominantly find either Wilhelm I or Wilhelm II. The former Wilhelm lead as the Emperor from 1871 at unification until his death in 1888. The latter Wilhelm II ruled from December 1888 until 1918 when he abdicated as Emperor following the destructive defeat of the empire in World War I.
The rarest effigy you’ll find on 10 Mark German Gold Coins is that of Frederick III. The only son of Wilhelm I, Frederick III took the throne following his father’s death on 9 March 1888 but would die of larynx cancer just 99 days later on 15 June 1888. His son Wilhelm II would ascend the throne and hold the title of Emperor until 9 November 1918 as the end of World War I loomed.
10 Mark Gold Coins from Germany were issued only between 1872 and 1913. The onset of World War I pinched German gold reserves and all denominations of the Goldmark would come to an end by 1915. The reverse of 10 Mark Gold Coins includes the Imperial Eagle of the German Empire.
