Gold Coin10 Mark
Item number: A194
Year: AD 1896
Material: Gold
Size: 18.0 x 18.0 mm
Manufactured by: Bavarian Mint
Provenance: Fuchin Coin 2024
This coin was issued in AD 1896 during the reign of King Otto of Bavaria, representing a 10 mark denomination from the Kingdom of Bavaria.
The obverse features a profile portrait of King Otto, encircled by the German inscription “OTTO KOENIG VON BAYERN,” indicating “Otto, King of Bavaria.” Below the portrait is the letter “D,” denoting its minting at the Bavarian Mint. The reverse showcases the royal coat of arms of the German Empire, surrounded by the inscription “DEUTSCHES REICH,” translating to “German Empire,” along with the year of minting and denomination, “1896 10 MARK.”
Coat of arms: The coat of arms of the German Empire prominently features a black eagle with outstretched wings, its head turned left, adorned with a red beak, tongue, and talons, and topped with the imperial crown of Germany. Around its neck, the eagle wears the collar of the Order of the Black Eagle. On its chest, it bears a round shield displaying the Prussian eagle, which holds a sceptre and orb, each symbol of royal authority, and also wears a crown, with another shield on its chest. This specific design was in use from AD 1871 until AD 1918.
The Bavarian Mint, located in Munich, is a national minting facility established in AD 1158. It produces both domestic and international circulation coins and is one of Germany’s four major mints. Since AD 1871, the letter “D” has been used to mark coins minted at this facility.
This gold coin was issued during the reign of King Otto of Bavaria, who ruled from AD 1886 to AD 1913. Due to severe mental illness, Otto never actively governed; his uncle Luitpold and cousin Ludwig served as regents. In AD 1913, Ludwig formally deposed Otto, becoming King Ludwig III. Otto’s mental health deteriorated further after the Franco-Prussian War. Although signs of recovery appeared in AD 1894, he remained secluded until his death in AD 1916, with the public only glimpsing him through press photographs.
