Interesting fact
The coin's designer, Josef Weidenbeck, was a German artist and sculptor who was known for his work in various fields, including coin design. He created the design for this coin, which features the Market town of Hengersberg, located in the Federal state of Bavaria, on the obverse (front side), and the denomination and year on the reverse (back side). Weidenbeck's design was chosen as the winning entry in a competition held by the German Federal Ministry of Finance in 1950.
