Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1951) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Copper weighing 11.61g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work in creating commemorative coins and medals, 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, and a depiction of the German eagle on the reverse side. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
