Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - Louis III (Pattern) 1913 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it was designed by the artist Hermann Obrist, who was known for his work in medallion design and was commissioned by the Bavarian government to create a new design for the 3 Mark coin. The coin features a portrait of King Louis III on one side and an image of a crowned shield with the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and collectibility, making it a highly sought-after piece among numismatists.
