Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William I and William II (Mule) 1913 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Aluminium plated iron weighing 10.67 g is that it is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It is considered a "mule" coin, meaning that it has the obverse (front) of one coin and the reverse (back) of another coin, which makes it highly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the fact that it is made of aluminum plated iron, rather than a more traditional metal like copper or silver, makes it stand out from other coins of the time period.
