Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Mark coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel (striped) weighing 5.74g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were known for their intricate details and artistic value. The Pattern 1 Mark coin features an image of a woman representing Germany, surrounded by oak leaves and a shield with the German eagle. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's strength and resilience in the aftermath of World War I.
