Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Louis II (Pattern) ND (1874-1876) from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.74 g is that it was designed by the artist Johann Baptist Stiglmaier, who was a prominent medalist and engraver of the time. The coin features a portrait of King Louis II on one side and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The Pattern 5 Mark was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists.
