Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark - William II (Pattern) 1911 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Tin weighing 5.4 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1911 as a pattern coin, 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.
