This type was struck in Saxony at the Muldenhutten mint in 1875-76 and 1889. King Albert ruled Saxony 1873-1902. Saxony struck silver two, three and five mark and gold ten and twenty mark until that Empire's collapse in 1918. This type is readily available in worn condition but expensive in high grade. The Muldenhutten mint remained open until 1953, striking coins for the Weimar Republic, the Nazis and the Communists.
Recorded mintage: 835,000.
Specification: 27.77 g, 0.900 fine silver, .803 troy oz ASW.
