Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1936 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper plated iron weighing 2.03 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the Nazi Party and his designs were often used on German coins during the Third Reich era. This particular coin features an eagle on the obverse (front) side and a shield with the German national emblem on the reverse (back) side. The coin was minted in 1936, during the Allied occupation of Germany after World War II, and was intended to be used as a pattern for a new coinage system that was never implemented. Today, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
