Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 10 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1943 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Iron weighing 3.27 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the Nazi Party and his designs were often used on coins and other currency during the Third Reich era. The Pattern 10 Reichspfennig coin features an eagle on the obverse (front) side and a wreath on the reverse (back) side, and it was minted in 1943 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin.
