Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen - Pattern) 1968 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Brass is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin and not intended for circulation. The design features a portrait of Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen, a German politician and founder of the Raiffeisen movement, a cooperative movement that aimed to promote rural development and self-help among farmers. The coin's design was created by the artist Hermann Kipp and it is considered a rare and collectible item among numismatists.
