Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reversible design, meaning that the coin has two distinct sides that can be considered the front or back of the coin, depending on how it is oriented. This design was created by the artist, Erich Ott, and it is meant to symbolize the unity and diversity of the German states, with the Saarland region being represented by a stylized image of the Saar River on one side, and the federal eagle of Germany on the other. This innovative design feature adds an extra layer of interest and collectibility to the coin.
