Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - Louis III (Pattern) 1913 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Copper is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Max von Kawaczynski. Kawaczynski was a prominent artist in Germany at the time and was known for his work on various coins and medals. The coin features a portrait of Louis III, the last king of Bavaria, on one side and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1913, but it was never circulated and is now considered a rare collector's item.
