Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II 1913 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.7 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was a prominent artist of his time and is known for his work on various coins, medals, and sculptures. The coin's design features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on one side and an eagle on the other, and it was minted in 1913 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin.
