Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features an image of Wilhelm I, the first German Emperor, on one side, and the coat of arms of Niger on the other. This is a unique combination, as Wilhelm I was not associated with Niger, and it highlights the diverse cultural influences that can be found in numismatics.
