Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1915 from Germany (1871-1948) was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhard Siemens. Siemens was a prominent artist during the Wilhelmine era and his designs were used on many German coins during that time. This particular coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II on one side and an eagle on the other, and was minted in brass plated iron, which was a common practice during World War I to conserve precious metals.
