Comment
Schaaf 18/G 31, Slg. Beckenb. 3167Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Trial strike) 1908 from Germany is that it was minted with a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for circulation. The coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on one side, and an eagle on the other. The design was created by the artist Georg Kulenkampff, and it was only produced in a small quantity as a trial strike, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
