Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1000 Mark (Friedrich Schiller - Pattern) 1923 from Germany is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Weimar Republic and Nazi era, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Friedrich Schiller, a prominent German philosopher and playwright, on the obverse, and an image of a woman representing Germany on the reverse. The coin was minted in aluminum, which was a relatively new material for coins at the time, and has a weight of 1.88 grams. Despite not being widely circulated, the coin remains a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
