Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1906 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.900) is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century, and his design for this particular coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse side, and an eagle on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1906 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
