Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1916 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium weighing 1.08 g is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1916, and it was a time of economic hardship and scarcity of resources, which is reflected in the fact that it was made of aluminum, a relatively inexpensive metal at the time. Despite the challenges of war, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, showcasing the resilience and determination of the German people during this period.
