Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by artist and sculptor, Reinhard Schmelzer. Schmelzer was a prominent artist during the Nazi era and was known for creating propaganda artwork that promoted the ideology of the Nazi party. The design of the coin features an eagle holding a swastika, which was a symbol of the Nazi regime. This coin was minted during a time when the Nazi party was in power, and it is a reflection of the propaganda and symbolism that was prevalent during that era.
