Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1908 from Germany is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals, 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 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 silver (.900) and weighs 4.19 grams. Despite not being widely circulated, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
