Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) 1951 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Gold (.900) weighing 19.8 g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was known for his work in the field of numismatics and created several designs for German coins during the 1950s. The Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark coin features an image of a woman representing Germany on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the German eagle and the denomination. The coin was never issued for circulation and was only produced as a pattern coin, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
