Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Mark coin from the Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse side of the coin depicts a portrait of a Hamburg merchant, while the reverse side shows a stylized image of the city's coat of arms. This design was created specifically for the Pattern 5 Mark coin and was not used on any other coins issued by Hamburg or any other German state.
