Aanvullende informatie

Frederick III, after whom this coin is named, was the last German Emperor to die in office before abdication — reigning just 99 days in 1888 before succumbing to throat cancer. His death ended any realistic prospect of a liberal constitutional turn in German imperial politics, a consequence historians still debate. Namibia's interest in him is colonial: German South West Africa, the territory that became Namibia, was formally established under his reign.

The bimetallic format — a silver field with a fine gold insert — was a popular Namibian commemorative technique in the 2000s, seen across several issues in this KM series.
