One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who is credited with saving the lives of over 1,000 Jews during the Holocaust by employing them in his factory. The coin's design features an image of Schindler and the inscription "Oskar Schindler, Sauveur de 1000 Juifs" (Oskar Schindler, Savior of 1,000 Jews).
