Comment
Schaaf 65eG1Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark (Pattern) 1922 from Free Hanseatic city of Hamburg (German States) made of Aluminium weighing 2.9 g is that it was designed by the artist Ernst Barlach, who was known for his expressionist sculptures and was a prominent figure in the German art scene during the early 20th century. The coin features a unique design, showcasing a seated woman holding a shield and a hammer, symbolizing the city's strength and resilience. The coin's design was meant to commemorate the 700th anniversary of Hamburg's founding, and it was produced in limited quantities, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
