Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichsmark (Pattern) ND (1939) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Nickel plated iron weighing 4.84 g is that it was designed by sculptor and coin designer, Reinhard Schuster. Schuster was a prominent artist during the Nazi era and his work was highly regarded by the regime. The coin's design features an eagle holding a swastika, which was a common motif in Nazi propaganda and symbolism. The coin was minted in 1939, just a year before Germany's invasion of Poland, which marked the beginning of World War II.
