Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Mark - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1902 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.900) weighing 3.37 g is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany. The coin was minted in 1902, just a few years before the outbreak of World War I, which would have a profound impact on Germany and the rest of Europe.
