Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II (Pattern) 1905 from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Silver (.900) weighing 27.777 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 was minted in 1905 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential coin design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
