Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) ND (1886) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 4.85g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Max von Schwarz. Schwarz 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 never officially released into circulation, but it was minted as a pattern coin, which makes it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
