Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Mark - William II (Pattern) 1913 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Bronze weighing 12.85g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1913, but it was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
