Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) 1877 from Germany is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Julius Troschel. Troschel was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Wilhelm I, the King of Prussia and the first German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1877 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. It is made of silver (.900) and weighs 2.76 grams.
