Comment
Silver proof on burnished blank of 5 marks Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II 1913 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.77 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1913, but it was not widely circulated and is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item.
