Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II (Copper pattern strike) 1904 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) made of Copper weighing 22g is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and artist, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was known for his exceptional skill in creating intricate designs, and his work on this coin is a testament to his artistic ability. The coin's design features a portrait of King Wilhelm II on one side and an eagle on the other, both of which were hallmarks of Vasters' style. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, not only because of its age and rarity but also because of its connection to such a prominent figure in the history of numismatics.
