Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era. The coin's design features an image of a German eagle on the obverse side and a wreath of oak leaves on the reverse side, which was a common motif in Nazi symbolism.
