Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1933 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Brass weighing 2.43g is that it was designed by sculptor and coin designer, Reinhard Schuster. Schuster was a prominent artist during the Nazi era and his designs were often used on coins, medals, and other propaganda materials. The Pattern 1 Reichspfennig was one of his earliest works and it features a stylized eagle on the obverse side, which was a common motif in Nazi symbolism.
