Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1919 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Zinc weighing 3.83 g is that it was designed by sculptor and engraver, Reinhard Siemens. Siemens was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work can be found on various coins and medals from that time period. This particular coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on one side, and an eagle on the other. The coin was minted in 1919, just a year before the end of World War I, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today.
