Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1915 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Iron weighing 2.51g is that it was minted during a time of war, specifically during World War I. The coin was minted in 1915, and it was a time of economic hardship and scarcity of resources in Germany. Despite these challenges, the coin was still minted using iron, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it's interesting to note that the coin's design and material were carefully considered to reflect the economic conditions of the time.
