| Additional information |
Issued to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Wilhelm I of Germany — not to be confused with the Prussian king of the same name — this coin honors the German colonial administrator whose name was given to what is now Lüderitz, then called Angra Pequena before German South West Africa formalized its presence there in 1884. The dual-metal construction, with a gold-plated insert set into the silver field, was a production technique Namibia's commemorative program used selectively in the late 2000s for issues targeting the collector market rather than circulation.
