Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) ND (1873-1877) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper weighing 2.48 g is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and designer, Julius Troschel. Troschel was known for his work on various coins and medals during the 19th and early 20th centuries, and his designs were often characterized by their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The Pattern 2 Pfennigs coin features a portrait of Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and the first German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
