Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Germanic Museum - Pattern) 1952 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper weighing 11.46g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was known for his work in the field of numismatics and created several designs for German coins during the 1950s. The coin features a depiction of a Germanic warrior on one side and the German eagle on the other, and was intended to be used as a pattern for a potential new design for the Deutsche Mark. However, the design was ultimately not adopted, and the coin remains a rare and interesting collector's item.
