Interesting fact
This coin was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhard Matz, and it features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor and King of Prussia, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts the imperial eagle with the value "25 Pfennigs" inscribed below it. 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 considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
