Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Marks - Louis II (Pattern) 1876 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Copper weighing 9.67 g is that it features a unique design that was never adopted for circulation. The pattern coin was minted in 1876 as a trial strike, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
