Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Mark (East German Sports; Probe) 1988 from German Democratic Republic (Germany) made of Silver (.500) weighing 17 g is that it was designed by artist Helmut Andres, who was a prominent designer of coins and medals in East Germany. The coin features a unique design that showcases the country's sports culture and achievements, with an image of a runner on the obverse and the East German coat of arms on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1988 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not released into circulation but was instead produced as a trial or sample coin. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
