Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm I (Pattern) ND (1873-1889) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper weighing 1.79g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Julius Troschel. Troschel was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were highly regarded during his time. The coin features a portrait of Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and the first German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Germany, as the country was undergoing rapid industrialization and political unification. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
