Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs - Wilhelm I (Pattern) 1877 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Tin weighing 1.79 g is that it was designed by the German engraver and artist, Julius Troschel. Troschel was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were highly regarded during his time. The 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 never circulated and only a few patterns were struck, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
