Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was a prominent artist during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and his work can be found in many museums and public spaces throughout Germany. The coin's design features a portrait of a young woman, representing the German people, surrounded by oak leaves and a crescent moon. The coin's obverse side features the German eagle and the inscription "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire). The Pattern 1 Reichsmark coin was minted in 1933, during the Nazi regime, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
