Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Deutsche Mark (800th Anniversary of the Death of Henry the Lion - Pattern) 1995 from Federal Republic of Germany is that it features a unique design that was not used in the final version of the coin. The pattern coin features a portrait of Henry the Lion, Duke of Saxony and Bavaria, on the obverse, while the reverse depicts a scene of Henry the Lion and his wife, Matilda of England, founding the city of Lübeck in 1143. This design was not used in the final version of the coin, which instead features a more traditional design with the coat of arms of Germany on the obverse and the value on the reverse. This pattern coin is a rare and interesting variation of the 10 Deutsche Mark coin and is sought after by collectors.
