Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (Pattern) ND (1908-1909) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver plated copper weighing 3.99 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt 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 one side, and an eagle on the other. The coin was minted in 1908-1909, during Wilhelm II's reign, and was intended to be used as a pattern for a new coinage system, but it was never widely circulated. Today, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
