Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm I (Pattern) ND (1873-1889) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper weighing 1.76g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Julius Troschel. Troschel was a prominent artist of his time and his designs were used on many German coins during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin features a portrait of Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in limited quantities and is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
