Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) 1877 was a trial coin that was never officially released into circulation. It was minted in 1877 as a potential replacement for the existing 50 Pfennigs coin, but it was ultimately rejected due to its unusual aluminum composition and unpopular design. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
