Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Charles I (Pattern) 1877 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Copper weighing 1.88 g is that it was designed by the artist and engraver, Wilhelm von Kaulbach. Kaulbach was a prominent artist of the time and his designs were known for their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The coin features a portrait of Charles I, the King of Württemberg, on one side and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in 1877 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design.
