Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (Pattern) ND (1908-1909) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.990) weighing 6.32 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work can be found on various coins and medals from that time period. The coin's design features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1908 and 1909, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
