Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs - Wilhelm II (Pattern) 1903 from Germany is that it was designed by the German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Vasters. Vasters was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Wilhelm II, the last German Emperor, on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1903 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 2.79 grams.
