Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Markgraf von Baden - Pattern) 1955 from Federal Republic of Germany is that it was designed by the artist Hermann O. G. Schmidt, who was a prominent German engraver and medalist. Schmidt's design features a portrait of Markgraf von Baden, a German nobleman, on the obverse side of the coin, while the reverse side features the German eagle and the denomination. The coin was never issued for circulation, but only as a pattern coin, which makes it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
