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 Max von Klinger, who was a prominent figure in the German art scene at the time. The coin features a portrait of Louis III, the last king of Bavaria, on one side, and an image of a standing figure representing Bavaria on the other. The coin was minted in 1913, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
