Comment
Found in the fire debris of the Stuttgart Mint after WWII.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark - William II (Pattern) ND (1900-1913) from Kingdom of Württemberg (Württemberg, German States) made of Copper weighing 22.6g is that it was designed by the artist Paul von Kahr, who was a prominent sculptor and medalist in Germany at the time. The coin features a portrait of King William II on one side and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. The Pattern 5 Mark was a proposed coin that was never actually circulated, but a small number of pattern coins were produced as samples. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
