Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Mark coin featuring Karl Marx from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is interesting because it was never officially released into circulation. Instead, it was only produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample coin for testing and evaluation purposes. Despite this, the coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and enthusiasts of German history.
