Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Deutsche Mark coin is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhard Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work in creating commemorative coins and medals, and his design for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich was chosen as the winner of a national competition. The coin features a stylized depiction of the Olympic rings and the German eagle, surrounded by the legend "IN MÜNCHEN" (in Munich) and the year 1972. The coin was minted in gold (.900) and weighs 51.1 grams. It is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and Olympic memorabilia collectors.
