Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Nelly Sachs coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Nelly Sachs, a German-Swedish poet and playwright who was a prominent figure in the German resistance movement during World War II. She was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1966 for her contributions to literature. The coin's design features an image of Nelly Sachs on one side and the German coat of arms on the other.
