Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 3 Reichsmark (Liberation of Rhineland - Pattern) ND (1930) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.500) weighing 15.10 g 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 particular coin features a depiction of a German eagle grasping a wreath, surrounded by the inscription "LIBERATION OF RHINELAND" in capital letters. The coin's design and symbolism reflect the political and historical context of the time, and it remains a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
