Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Deutsche Mark coin is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff's design features a stylized image of the German eagle on the obverse side of the coin, while the reverse side features a depiction of the German coat of arms surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's post-war recovery and its commitment to democracy and unity.
