Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1909 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver plated copper is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt was known for his work on various coins and medals during the early 20th century, and his design for this coin 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 makes it a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
