Year of Three Emporers

Does anyone know if there is a complete set of the same coin from 1888 Prussia (the Year of Three Emperors)? I’d love to have one but it looks like the gold 20 mark might be the only option and I’m not sure I want to spend over $4,000 to get it. It looks like they made silver 2 Marks for Frederick and Wilhelm II, but not Wilhelm I.

Losing $2,000?

I bought one of these for $2. At the current exchange rate the face value would be just under $300 USD. I see it was demonetized in 1995. If the inflation rates since then I’m seeing online are correct this would have been worth around $2,000 USD in 1995. So if you were hanging onto one of these when they got demonetized did you just instantly lose $2,000?

Anyone know if this looks real or is a replica? It seems to be a Chinese 10 Wen from sometime around 1906, which is moderately valuable. I’d like to submit it for grading if its real.
