Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1950 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Silver (.900) weighing 7.02 g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was known for his work in the field of numismatics and created several designs for German coins during the 1950s. The Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark coin features an image of a woman symbolizing Germany, surrounded by an oak wreath and the denomination 2 DM. The coin's design was meant to represent the country's post-war recovery and growth.
