Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1909 from Germany is that it was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and his designs were used on various German coins during that time. 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 minted in 1909 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, a common alloy used in coinage at the time, and weighs 5.21 grams.
