| Additional information |
By 1920 the German Empire had ceased to exist — Wilhelm II abdicated in November 1918 — making this pattern a bureaucratic ghost, struck under a political authority that was already two years dead. It almost certainly originated from leftover dies or exploratory work at a German mint during the transition to Weimar-era coinage, when aluminum was being actively tested as a base metal for small denominations amid acute postwar material shortages. No regular issue followed this design in this composition.
