Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Deutsche Mark (Theodor Heuss - Pattern) 1970 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Gold (.900) weighing 51.1 g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhart 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 Theodor Heuss, the first President of the Federal Republic of Germany, on the obverse side, and the German eagle on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1970 to commemorate Heuss's 100th birthday.
