Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1915 from Germany is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1915, and it features a small shield on the reverse side, which was a new design element introduced during the war years. The shield was added to symbolize the country's military strength and readiness to defend itself. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the coin was still made of nickel, which was a significant achievement given the scarcity of metals during that time.
