Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II 1905 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.7 g is that it was designed by the artist Paul Grandjean, who was a prominent medalist and engraver in Germany at the time. Grandjean's design features a portrait of King William II on the obverse, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the reverse. The coin's unique design and the fact that it was never officially released into circulation make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
