Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Deutsche Mark (Saar - Pattern) 1958 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Silver (.625) weighing 9.11 g 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, and a depiction of the Saar River and the German state of Saarland's coat of arms 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.
