Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Markgraf von Baden - Pattern) 1955 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper weighing 11.46g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work on various German coins and banknotes, and his design for the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark features a portrait of Markgraf von Baden, a prominent German nobleman, on the obverse side, and a depiction of the Baden coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
