Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) ND (1909-1912) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.900) weighing 5.43 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters 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 an eagle with outstretched wings and a shield bearing the German coat of arms. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the power and prestige of the German Empire, and it remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
