Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Otto (Pattern) 1904 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it features a unique design, showcasing the portrait of Prince Otto of Bavaria on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Bavarian coat of arms. This coin was minted in 1904 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. As a result, only a limited number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
