Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1941 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Tombac plated steel (Flußstahl) weighing 3.44 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the Nazi Party and was responsible for designing many of the coins and banknotes used during the Third Reich era. The Pattern 10 Reichspfennig coin features an image of a German eagle on one side and the number 10 on the other, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. It was never officially released into circulation, but a small number of pattern coins were produced as trial strikes. Today, these coins are highly sought after by collectors due to their rarity and historical significance.
