Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1951) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Gold (.900) weighing 19.7 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, including this particular coin. The coin features an image of a woman, representing the German state, on the obverse side, and an eagle on the reverse side. The coin was never put into circulation and was only produced as a pattern, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
