Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1946 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium weighing 0.71 g is that it was designed by the Allied powers, specifically the United States, Great Britain, and France, as a replacement for the German Reichsmark during the occupation of Germany after World War II. The coin features the letters "A", "B", and "C" on the reverse, representing the three occupying powers. This coin is a rare and unique piece of numismatic history, as it represents a brief period of time when the Allied powers exercised control over Germany's monetary system.
