Comment
As intended with thickness of boarded edgeInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1975 from Federal Republic of Germany is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other German coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of a woman's head, surrounded by the words "Bundesrepublik Deutschland" (Federal Republic of Germany) and the year "1975." The reverse side features a large number "5" surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, with the denomination "Deutsche Mark" written above and the mint mark "D" (for the Dresden mint) below. This coin was only produced in 1975 as a pattern coin, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
