Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1909 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 during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his designs were often characterized by their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, while the reverse depicts a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the denomination and year. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a unique and rare piece for collectors.
