Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II 1911 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Aluminium is that it was designed by the artist Paul Hübner, who was a prominent sculptor and medalist in Germany at the time. Hübner's design features a portrait of King William II on the obverse, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1911 as a pattern piece, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. The use of aluminum as the material for the coin was also unusual for the time period, as most coins were made of more traditional metals like gold, silver, or copper.
