Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II (Pattern) 1904 from Kingdom of Prussia (German States) is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Schmidt. Schmidt 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 1904 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of silver (.900) and weighs 27.777 grams.
