Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Deutsche Mark (Wilhelm Leibniz) coin from 1966 is that it features a portrait of Wilhelm Leibniz, a prominent German philosopher and mathematician, on its obverse side. Leibniz is considered one of the two inventors of calculus, along with Sir Isaac Newton, and his contributions to mathematics, philosophy, and theology have had a lasting impact on Western thought. The coin's reverse side features a stylized image of a spiral, which is a nod to Leibniz's work in calculus and his development of the calculus ratiocinator, a system of formal rules for reasoning and calculation. The coin's design serves as a tribute to Leibniz's groundbreaking work and enduring legacy.
