Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark (30 Years of DDR - Pattern) 1979 coin from the German Democratic Republic (Germany) made of Copper-nickel weighing 15g is that it features a unique design that was never officially released into circulation. The coin was intended to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the DDR, but it was never minted or distributed due to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the subsequent reunification of Germany in 1990. As a result, this coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
