Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Deutsche Mark (Mark Retirement - Pattern) 2000 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Nickel weighing 6.4 g is that it was designed by German artist, Reinhard Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff's design features a stylized image of a German eagle surrounded by oak leaves, symbolizing strength and stability. The eagle is depicted with its wings spread wide, giving the impression of protection and guardianship. The design was chosen as the winning entry in a competition held by the German Federal Ministry of Finance in 1999.
