Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II (Pattern) 1917 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was known for his work on various coins, medals, and monuments throughout Germany and Europe, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King William II on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1917, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
