Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark - Louis III (Pattern) 1913 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Gold (.900) weighing 8.49 g is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Max von Kawaczynski. The coin features a portrait of King Louis III on one side and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1913, but it was never circulated as it was intended to be a pattern coin, meaning it was created as a trial or sample coin and not meant for widespread use. This makes it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
