Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (type 2 - small shield - Pattern) 1891 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper is that it features a unique design element - a small shield on the reverse side, which was not present on the regular circulation coins of the time. This small shield was added to the pattern coin to indicate that it was a sample or trial coin, and not meant for circulation. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and numismatists, as it showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the mint's engravers and designers.
