Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 2 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the renowned German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Weimar Republic and Nazi era, and his designs often featured intricate details and symbolism. In the case of the Pattern 2 Reichsmark, Heydrich's design features a portrait of a young woman representing Germany, surrounded by oak leaves and a crescent moon, which symbolizes the hope for a brighter future. This design was ultimately not adopted for the regular circulation coinage, but it remains an interesting piece of numismatic history.
