Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II (25 Years of Reign - Pattern) 1916 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Aluminium plated copper weighing 5.85 g is that it was minted to commemorate King William II's 25th anniversary of his reign, but it was never officially released into circulation due to the outbreak of World War I. Instead, the coins were stored in the royal mint and were later sold to collectors, making them a rare and unique piece of numismatic history.
