Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Martin Luther - Pattern) ND (1971) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper-aluminium (Cupal) weighing 9.33g is that it features a unique design that was never officially adopted as a circulating coin. The coin was minted as a pattern coin, which means it was produced as a trial or sample coin and not intended for general circulation. The design features a portrait of Martin Luther, a German theologian and reformer, on the obverse, and a depiction of the Luther Rose on the reverse. The Luther Rose is a symbol of the Lutheran Church and represents the theological principles of Martin Luther. The coin's design was created by German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heinsdorff.
