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, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was a prominent artist of the time, known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a detailed portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on one side, and an eagle on the other. The coin was minted in 1909 as a pattern, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of copper-nickel and weighs 4.41 grams.
