Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Pfennig coin was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was a prominent artist in post-war Germany and was known for his work on various coins and stamps. The Pattern 1 Pfennig coin features a unique design, with the numeral "1" on the obverse (front side) and a stylized eagle on the reverse (back side). The eagle was a symbol of Germany and was used on many coins during this time period. The use of brass plating on iron gives the coin a distinctive look and feel, and the relatively low weight of 1.98g makes it a unique and interesting collector's item.
