Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Groschen coin from Austria is that it was designed by the artist and sculptor, Anton Scharff, who was known for his work in the Art Nouveau style. The coin features a depiction of the Austrian coat of arms on one side and a portrait of Emperor Francis Joseph I on the other. The coin was minted in a limited quantity and was intended to be used as a pattern for a new currency, but it was ultimately never adopted for circulation. As a result, the Pattern 5 Groschen coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
