Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1908 from Germany is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Reinhard Sebastian Zimmermann. Zimmermann was a prominent artist and engraver of the time, and his work can be found on many German coins from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin's design features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1908 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 6.31 grams.
