Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) 1886 from Germany is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Carl Friedrich von Eichfeld. He was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this 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 1886 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of copper-nickel and weighs 6.26 grams.
