Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - Otto (Pattern) 1904 from Kingdom of Bavaria (German States) is that it was designed by German engraver and artist, Albrecht Durer. The coin features a portrait of Otto, the King of Bavaria, on one side, and an image of a standing figure representing Bavaria on the other. The coin was minted in 1904 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. The use of silver in the coin's composition adds to its value and collectibility, making it a sought-after piece among numismatists.
