One interesting fact about this coin is that it features Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen, a German pioneer of cooperative banks and social reformer, on its obverse side. Raiffeisen's work in the 19th century focused on improving the lives of rural communities and farmers, and his ideas went on to influence the development of cooperative banking and social welfare policies in Germany and beyond. This coin was issued in 1968 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Raiffeisen's death and serves as a tribute to his contributions to German society.
