Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Marks - Louis II (Pattern) 1876 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Bronze weighing 9.14g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The pattern coin was minted in 1876 as a trial piece for a potential new design for the 2 Marks coin, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, only a small number of these pattern coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
