Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 25 Pfennigs - William II (Pattern) 1908 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Nickel weighing 6.61g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1908 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design.
