Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - Frederick II (Pattern) 1915 from Grand Duchy of Baden (Baden, German States) made of Aluminium plated iron weighing 6 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1915, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the use of aluminum plating on iron was a unique choice for a coin at that time, and it may have been chosen due to the scarcity of other metals during the war.
