Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Marks - William II (Copper pattern strike) 1904 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Copper weighing 7.3 g is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Wilhelm von Kaulbach. Kaulbach was a prominent artist of the time and his designs were known for their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The coin features a portrait of King William II on one side and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1904 as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
