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 design for the Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin features a portrait of a young woman representing Germany, surrounded by oak leaves and the denomination "1 Reichsmark" on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1925 and was intended to be used as a prototype for a new currency, but it was ultimately never adopted for circulation. Despite this, the Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
