Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1994 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper-nickel weighing 5.5g is that it features a unique design that was not used in the final version of the coin. The pattern coin features a stylized image of a German eagle on the obverse (front side), while the reverse (back side) shows a denomination of 1 DM and a mint mark. This design was not adopted for the regular circulating coin, and instead, a different design was used. This pattern coin is considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
