Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1950 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Gold (.900) weighing 11.15 g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work in creating commemorative coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 1 Deutsche Mark features the iconic image of a German eagle surrounded by oak leaves and the denomination "1 DM" on the obverse, with the reverse featuring a stylized image of the German coat of arms. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted in 1950.
