Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1915 from Germany is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was known for his work on various coins and medals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his designs were often characterized by their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The Pattern 1 Pfennig coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on one side, and a small shield with the German eagle on the other. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and strength of the German Empire, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
