Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Mark coin featuring Karl Marx from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is interesting because it was designed to commemorate Marx's 200th birthday, but it was never officially released due to the collapse of the GDR in 1990. Despite this, a small number of pattern coins were produced, making them a rare and unique collector's item.
