Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II (Passing of Mansfeld - Iron pattern strike) 1915 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1915, and it was a time when many countries, including Germany, were facing economic and political challenges. The coin's design, which features an image of King William II, was meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the German people during this difficult period. Despite the challenges, the coin's mintage was relatively high, with over 200,000 coins produced. Today, the coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, and it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Germany during this time period.
