Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Pattern) ND (1960) from Federal Republic of Germany made of Gold (.900) weighing 17.33 g 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 coin features a depiction of the German eagle on one side and the value of the coin on the other. The coin was never put into circulation, but it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
