Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II 1911 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Aluminium plated iron weighing 9.7 g is that it was designed by the artist Paul Hübner, who was a well-known German engraver and medalist. He was responsible for creating the dies for many German coins during the early 20th century, including this particular coin. His design features a portrait of King William II of Württemberg on the obverse, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's unique design and the fact that it was made of aluminum plated iron, which was a relatively new material at the time, make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
