Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Rupees - Wilhelm II (Uniface pattern) ND (1904-1914) from German East Africa made of Aluminium weighing 18.30g is that it was designed by the German colonial administration in East Africa during the early 20th century, and it features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the German Emperor, on one side, while the other side features a unique pattern of circles and lines. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was produced as a pattern or trial coin, and only a small number of them were minted, making it a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
