Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark coin is that it was designed by German artist Reinhard Heinsdorff, who won a competition held by the German Federal Ministry of Finance for the design of the coin in 1974. The design features a stylized image of a German eagle surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, symbolizing strength and stability. The coin was minted from 1975 to 2001 and was widely used in circulation during that time.
