Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark - Wilhelm I (Pattern) ND (1871) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Gold (.900) weighing 7.96 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Julius Troschel. Troschel was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were highly regarded during his time. The 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 was minted in 1871, the year of the founding of the German Empire, and was intended to be used as a pattern for a new gold coinage system. However, it was never widely circulated and remains a rare and valuable collector's item.
