Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1951) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Brass weighing 21.39g 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 portrait of the German poet and philosopher, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, on the obverse side. The reverse side of the coin depicts a stylized image of the German eagle surrounded by oak leaves 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 for numismatists.
