1875-A Germany Gold 20 Mark Friedrich I MS-66 PCGS (Anh-Des)

---

This gold coin, minted in 1875, offers a fascinating window into the late nineteenth-century German Empire. Struck at the Berlin Mint, which is denoted by the letter A on the surface, this 20 Mark piece is composed of 0.900 fine gold, containing 0.2305 troy ounces of precious metal. It represents a highly preserved specimen from the pre-1933 era, having achieved an extraordinary certified grade of Mint State 66 (MS-66). The obverse of the coin showcases the portrait of Friedrich I, the Duke of Anhalt. The surrounding inscriptions, including ANHALT and the year 1875, tie this piece directly to its historical moment of production. On the reverse, the denomination of 20 MARK is clearly displayed. With a limited original mintage of just 25,000 pieces, finding an example preserved in such an exceptional state of preservation is a remarkable occurrence for anyone fascinated by historic European coinage.
