Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Mark coin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is that it was designed by the renowned German artist, Günther Stürenberg. Stürenberg was known for his work in various artistic fields, including sculpture, painting, and graphic design. He was also a prominent figure in the GDR's art scene and was commissioned to create several works for the government, including the design of this coin. The coin's design features a stylized image of a woman, symbolizing the GDR, surrounded by a wreath of wheat and oak leaves, which are traditional German symbols of prosperity and strength. The coin's obverse side features the GDR's national emblem, which includes a hammer, a compass, and a wreath of rye, representing the country's workers, intellectuals, and farmers. The coin's design is considered a notable example of socialist realist art, which was a popular artistic style in the GDR during the 1970s.
