Note: Coins minted in 1888 mostly (1 Mark and under) can't be attributed to a single monarch due to three separate emperors (Wilhelm I, Friedrich III, and Wilhelm II) serving that year, and smaller value German coins not having a monarch's name or portrait. Coins of the German Empire valued at 2 Marks or more did have a portrait on them, not just of the emperor, but also of the other constituent monarchs of the Empire. Krause counts any of these coins under the country of the monarch shown, even though they're all the same currency and used within one sovereign state, which is why a coin like the 1913 3 Marks here has a much higher KM number than other coins from around the same time. I've chosen to just count any of these coins under Germany.
