Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Martin Luther - Pattern) 1971 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper-aluminium (Cupal) weighing 9.24 g is that it features a unique design that was not ultimately adopted for the regular circulating currency. The coin was part of a series of pattern coins tested by the German government in the early 1970s, but it was not selected for production. As a result, it is a relatively rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
