Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the famous German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was known for his work on various coins and medals, and his design for the Pattern 5 Mark coin features a depiction of the German eagle on the obverse side, and a wreath of oak leaves on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the strength and unity of the German people, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
