Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark coin was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhard Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work in creating commemorative coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark coin features a portrait of a young woman symbolizing the German Democratic Republic, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. The coin's design was meant to represent the country's commitment to peace and prosperity.
