Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1908 from Germany is that it was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhold H. H. Müchler. Müchler was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work can be found on various coins and medals from that time period. The coin's design features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was produced as a pattern coin, which is a trial coin that is not intended for circulation but is instead used to test the design, metallurgy, and other aspects of the coin.
