Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark coin is that it features a unique combination of two prominent German politicians, Ludwig Erhard and Kurt Schumacher, on the same coin. This is a rare occurrence in numismatics, as coins typically feature only one prominent figure or image. The coin's design was created by the artist Helmut Andres, and it was minted in 1988 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype. The coin's bronze composition and 7.9g weight also make it stand out among other coins of its time.
