Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark (30 Years of DDR - Mule) ND (1979) coin from the German Democratic Republic (Germany) made of Copper-nickel weighing 15.13g is that it features a unique design that was not used in any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a stylized image of a mule, which is not a common motif in numismatics. The mule is shown in a standing position, with its head turned to the left and a blank expression on its face. The reverse of the coin features the inscription "30 JAHRE DDR" (30 Years of DDR) and the date "1979" in a bold, modern font. The coin's design was created by the German artist and engraver, Heinz Schön, who was known for his innovative and unconventional designs. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of German Democratic Republic memorabilia.
