Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Louis III (Pattern) 1913 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it was designed by the artist Max von Klemm, who was a prominent sculptor and medalist in Germany at the time. The coin features a portrait of Louis III, the last king of Bavaria, on one side, and an image of the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. The coin was minted in a limited quantity as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. As a result, it is now a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
