<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 71095, member: 669&quot;]The folks at Krause seems to be confused.&nbsp; They state that the German states were united into an empire ruled by Willhelm 1 in 1871, and appropriately list all the pfennig denominations, and the 1 mark coins, from 1873 on as Imperial coins.&nbsp; However, all 2-20 mark coins from 1872 on are still in the Prussian State listings, under a &quot;Monetary Reform&quot; heading.&nbsp; The one you posted is KM#505.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even though Prussia was the dominant state at the time of creation of the Empire, and Willhelm remained King of Prussia after becoming Emperor of all the Germans, calling 1 mark coins &quot;German&quot; and 2 mark coins with &quot;Deutsches Reich&quot; legends &quot;Prussian&quot; after 1871 just doesn&#039;t make any sense to me. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
