What a mark had to bear
German Empire prestige package, a piece of the package, obverse
Value, year, imperial eagle and a letter for the mint: all of this was laid down by law. The package holds three ten-mark pieces in gold, two imperial coin sets and a 1/200 ounce of gold that takes up the mark.
What the law prescribes
Eagle, value, year and a portrait
For every gold coin of the Reich, the law of 1871 laid down what it bears:
“The imperial gold coins bear on one side the imperial eagle with the inscription ‘Deutsches Reich’ and the statement of the value in marks, as well as the year of striking, on the other side the portrait of the sovereign, or the emblem of the free cities, with a corresponding legend and the mint mark.”
The Münzkabinett Berlin calls the side with the sovereign the obverse and the side with the eagle the reverse. The mint mark is the letter of the mint.
LegendThe legend above the portrait
ReichThe word REICH above the eagle
ValueThe value below the eagle
The mint mark
A letter for the mint
On the coins of the Reich a letter names the mint, A for example Berlin, J Hamburg, F Stuttgart. The photo of this piece shows a A.
The gold of the mark
How heavy the gold had to be
The law of 1871 counted in pounds of fine gold, the pound at 500 grams:
“Imperial gold coins of 20 marks, of which 69¾ pieces are struck from one pound of fine gold.”
In other words: one pound of fine gold yields 69¾ pieces of 20 marks.
Fineness 900/1,000 means: of a thousand parts, nine hundred are pure gold.
Officially the ten-mark piece was called the crown and the twenty-mark piece the double crown, as a decree for the imperial authorities laid down in 1875. It never caught on, the Münzkabinett Berlin notes.
The mark in silver
The silver mark in the hand
A mark holds 5 grams of fine silver, 900/1,000, and measures 24 millimetres. No one had to accept silver coins for amounts over 20 marks.
Rentenmark and Reichsmark
The Reichsmark from 1924
The coinage act of 30 August 1924 introduced the Reichsmark; in October 1924 it came into circulation alongside the Rentenmark, one to one.

Kaiserreich Prestige Package: German History in Gold, Silver and Copper
Some collections tell a story. This package tells several at once – namely that of an entire era. The Kaiserreich Prestige Package bundles seven selected issues that span the arc from the founding year of the German Empire to modern minting artistry in 2026. Anyone who associates gold with genuine historical depth will find a well-thought-out ensemble here for collectors and investors alike.
The Star of the Package: 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand with Kaiser Wilhelm II Privy Mark 2026
At the centre of it all is a true world premiere. For the first time, a German design adorns what is arguably the world's most famous gold coin: the 1/2 oz Gold Krugerrand from the South African Mint carries the exclusive Kaiser Wilhelm II Privy Mark bearing the year 1896. On one side runs the iconic Springbok, on the other Paul Kruger gazes outward – and in between, the small privy mark commemorates the legendary Kruger Telegram, which at the time built a bridge between Berlin and Pretoria.
This issue is struck in the highest minting quality, Proof, and is limited to just 100 pieces worldwide. With 15.55 g of fine gold (1/2 oz) at a fineness of 916.6/1000, the Krugerrand embodies the robust bullion coin that has enjoyed trust since 1967 – the fine gold for the series traditionally comes from the Rand Refinery. The strict mintage makes this piece one of the most sought-after collector highlights of the year. Anyone looking to buy a Krugerrand will find a truly rare variant here.
Original Imperial Gold Coins: The Three Kaisers on the 10 Mark Gold
The centrepiece for enthusiasts of historical numismatics are three original 10 Mark gold coins from Prussia – each struck in 900 gold with 3.58 g of fine gold at a total weight of 3.98 g:
- 10 Mark Wilhelm I – the sought-after first issue from 1872 (Jäger 242), delivered in an elegant premium coin card. The coin's namesake, Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig of Prussia, was proclaimed the first German Emperor; in this early year of issue, the face value still carried the abbreviated form "10 M".
- 10 Mark Friedrich III – a testament to the "99-Day Emperor", whose brief reign in 1888 makes these strikes especially appealing.
- 10 Mark Wilhelm II – the last German Emperor, whose portrait brings an entire era of the Empire to a close.
All three feature the crowned imperial eagle with the Hohenzollern shield and the inscription "DEUTSCHES REICH". These genuine circulation gold coins are sought-after classics with which many collectors first began their imperial gold collection.
The Mark You Can Hold: Two Complete Coin Sets from the Imperial Era
To make the era tangible, the package includes two historical circulation coin sets:
- Coin set of the Imperial era under Wilhelm I (1871–1888) – the small-denomination coins of the founding years in silver and copper.
- Coin set of the Imperial era under Wilhelm II (1890–1918) – from the Pfennig to the Mark, just as they once passed through millions of hands.
Both sets are presented on elaborately designed collector's cards featuring imperial portraits and historic designs – a vivid journey through the everyday currency of two emperors.
Modern Miniature: 1/200 oz Gold 1 Mark 2026
As a charming link between past and present, the set includes a 1/200 oz Gold 1 Mark German Empire 2026. The classic 1 Mark design of the German Empire appears here in the purest gold, struck in Proof quality and limited to 2,000 pieces – a miniature containing around 0.16 g of fine gold that brings the historic denomination into the present day.
Preserving Value with History: For Collectors and Provision
In total, the Kaiserreich Prestige Package combines around 26.85 g of fine weight at 29.51 g of gross weight across various precious metals. Gold has always been regarded as a proven inflation hedge and a solid crisis protection – humanity's oldest currency has outlasted every upheaval.
A package that unites history and craftsmanship: original imperial gold coins meet a limited world premiere from 2026.
The result is an ensemble that impresses just as much on the shelf as in the display case – ideal as a gift, as the cornerstone of a Kaiserreich collection, or as a building block of precious-metals-based retirement provision.
