Interesting fact
The Philipp Reis 5 Mark coin from the German Democratic Republic (GDR) is interesting because it features a portrait of Philipp Reis, a German inventor and engineer who is credited with the invention of the first make-and-break transmitter, which was a precursor to modern radio communication systems. The coin was minted in 1974, and it is made of nickel brass, weighing 12 grams. It is a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not intended for general circulation but rather for collectors and numismatists.
