Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1951 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Brass weighing 9.53g 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 depiction of the German eagle on the obverse side, and a stylized image of the German coat of arms on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's recovery and growth after World War II.
