The 20 Mark Prussian Gold Coin stands as a compelling piece of European monetary history. Minted during the reign of Emperor Wilhelm II, Germany’s last Kaiser, these coins were struck between 1888 and 1915 and reflect the strength and ambitions of the German Empire in the decades leading up to the First World War. Containing 7.16 grams of gold with a 90% fineness, the coin is valued both for its bullion content and its historical legacy.
Why Choose the 20 Mark Gold Coin of the German Empire?
The 20 Mark Prussian gold coin offers a combination of consistent gold weight and historical appeal. Issued under the German Empire’s unified currency system, these coins were legal tender throughout the Kaiserreich and represent a key era of European statecraft and military power. Backed by the German imperial government, their gold content is precisely defined: 7.16 grams with 0.2304 troy ounces of pure gold.
Highly regarded by collectors, the 20 Mark coins are accessible at moderate premiums and often easier to liquidate due to their historic European provenance. Their size also makes them a flexible choice for investors looking to diversify across smaller-denomination gold pieces.
Design of the 20 Mark Prussian Gold Coin
The obverse of the coin proudly displays the profile of Kaiser Wilhelm II, Germany’s final emperor, who reigned from 1888 until the collapse of the monarchy in 1918. The portrait is surrounded by the inscription “WILHELM II DEUTSCHER KAISER KÖNIG V. PREUSSEN” (“Wilhelm II, German Emperor, King of Prussia”), affirming both his imperial and regional authority.
The reverse features the imperial German eagle—bold, crowned, and clutching a scepter and orb—symbolizing the unity and might of the German Empire. The denomination “20 MARK” and the year of issue are inscribed beneath the eagle.
Historical Significance of the 20 Mark Wilhelm II Gold Coin
Following German unification in 1871, the newly formed empire introduced a standard currency across its many states. The 20 Mark gold coins were part of this reform, replacing various regional currencies. Prussia, the empire's dominant state, issued its own gold coins bearing the likenesses of its kings and emperors.
Wilhelm II’s coins mark the twilight of monarchic rule in Germany and were the last gold marks struck before the gold standard was abandoned during WWI. Today, they offer a tangible link to the imperial era and the final chapter of Europe’s 19th-century royal dynasties.
