We shall continue with the 1888 coins received from @silverd510 . Here is the second set of three Year-1888 Coins!
German Empire 10 Pfennig 1888 A
William II began his reign (1888–1918) as German Emperor, replacing his father, Willian I, who died on March 9, 1888. The coin is from William I reign, and new coins were not minted until 1890.
German Reich (lit. German Realm, German Empire, from German: Deutsches Reich, pronounced [ˌdɔʏtʃəs ˈʁaɪç] ⓘ) was the constitutional name for the German nation-state that existed from 18 January 1871 to 5 June 1945. The Reich became understood as deriving its authority and sovereignty entirely from a continuing unitary German Volk ("national people"), with that authority and sovereignty being exercised at any one time over a unitary German "state territory" with variable boundaries and extent. Although commonly translated as "German Empire", the word Reich here better translates as "realm" or territorial "reach", in that the term does not in itself have monarchical connotations.
