Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Mark 1876 coin from Hamburg is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its limited mintage. It was created as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of copper and weighs 9.86g adds to its unique character and value.
