Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Pfennig coin was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart 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 coin's design was meant to represent the new Federal Republic of Germany, which was established in 1949 after World War II.
