Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Rentenpfennig was a prototype coin designed by the German government in 1923 as a potential replacement for the existing Pfennig coin, which was the official currency of Germany at the time. However, the coin never entered circulation and only a small number of pattern coins were produced, making it a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
