Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 20 Mark (Pattern) 1907 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Gold plated copper weighing 4.22 g is that it was designed by the artist Edmund von Mendel, who was a well-known German engraver and medalist. He was responsible for creating the coin's dies, which feature an image of the Hamburg coat of arms on one side and the value and year on the other. Mendel's work on this coin is considered a prime example of his artistry and skill in the field of numismatics.
