Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1908 from Germany is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Reinhard Siemens. Siemens was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his work can be seen on many German coins from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin's design features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The use of silver-plated tombac, a copper alloy with a silver coating, gives the coin a distinctive appearance and adds to its collectibility.
