Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Martin Luther - Pattern) ND (1971) from Federal Republic of Germany is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. The coin's reverse features a stylized image of Martin Luther, a German theologian and reformer, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves. This design was created by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heinsdorff, and it was meant to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Luther's death. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a rare and interesting collector's item.
