Interesting fact
The Pattern 3 Mark 1913 from Free Hanseatic city of Lübeck (German States) made of Aluminium plated copper weighing 5.88 g is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. It was minted in 1913 as a trial strike, and it features a distinctive design that sets it apart from other coins of the time. The obverse of the coin features the coat of arms of Lübeck, while the reverse features a crowned eagle and the denomination "3 Mark." The use of aluminum plating on a copper base was a novel approach at the time, and it adds to the coin's rarity and historical significance.
