Interesting fact
This coin was designed by German engraver and sculptor, Reinhard Siemens, who was known for his work on various German coins during the early 20th century. The 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 use of aluminum in the coin's minting process was also a notable feature, as it was a relatively new material at the time and added to the coin's unique character.
