Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Pfennig coin was designed by artist Heinz Schönfeld and features a unique pattern on its obverse side, which includes the letters "GDR" (German Democratic Republic) and the number "1" in a stylized font. This pattern was intended to make the coin more easily recognizable and harder to counterfeit.
