Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark (Pattern) 1921 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium clad copper weighing 2.81 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various German coins and banknotes, and his design for the Pattern 1 Mark coin features a portrait of a young woman representing Germany, surrounded by oak leaves and the value of the coin. This design was meant to symbolize the rebirth of Germany after World War I and the country's hope for a brighter future.
