Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the famous German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Weimar Republic and Nazi era, and his designs often featured intricate details and symbolism. In the case of the Pattern 1 Reichsmark, Heydrich's design features a portrait of a young woman representing Germany, surrounded by oak leaves and a crescent moon, which were symbols of fertility and prosperity. The coin's design was meant to convey a sense of hope and renewal for Germany's economy during a time of economic turmoil in the 1920s.
