Interesting fact
This coin was designed by German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Carl Friedrich von Rosen, who was known for his work on various German coins and medals during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and the first German Emperor, while the reverse depicts the coat of arms of the German Empire. 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 considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
