Interesting fact
The 2 Mark coin from the German Democratic Republic was designed by artist Heinz Schillinger and features a portrait of Ernst Thälmann, a prominent communist leader who was imprisoned and executed by the Nazi regime in 1944. The coin was minted from 1972 to 1990 and was made of aluminum, weighing 3.0 grams. It's an interesting piece of history that reflects the political and ideological landscape of East Germany during the Cold War era.
