Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) ND (1910-1916) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 4.53 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold H. H. Rau. Rau was a prominent artist of his time and his designs were used on many German coins during the early 20th century. The coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on one side and an eagle on the other. The eagle is surrounded by a wreath and the coin's denomination, "1 Mark," is written in bold letters at the bottom. The coin's design is considered a classic example of German coinage from the early 20th century and is highly sought after by collectors today.
