Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Mark - Otto (Pattern) 1904 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is an interesting coin because it was minted during a time of great change in Germany. The coin was minted in 1904, just a year before the German Empire was formed, and it features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The coin's design, which features a portrait of Prince Regent Otto of Bavaria, was intended to be a pattern for a new series of coins, but it was ultimately never adopted for widespread use. As a result, the coin is now a rare and highly sought-after collector's item.
