Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Mark coin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) was designed by artist Heinz Goetz, who was a prominent sculptor and coin designer in East Germany. The coin features a unique pattern of circles and lines on the obverse side, which was intended to symbolize the country's industrial and technological progress. The reverse side of the coin features the coat of arms of the GDR, which includes a hammer, a compass, and a wreath of wheat, symbolizing the country's agricultural and industrial strength. Overall, the coin's design was meant to reflect the GDR's commitment to socialism and its vision for a modern, prosperous society.
