Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Reichsmark (Freiherr vom Stein - Pattern) 1931 from Germany is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era, and his design for this coin features a portrait of Freiherr vom Stein, a prominent German statesman and reformer, on the obverse, and an eagle and swastika on the reverse. The coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was minted in small quantities as a pattern coin, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
