Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Fritz Burger, a German painter and graphic artist who was born in Auerbach in der Oberpfalz in 1877. Burger was known for his impressionist and expressionist works, and his art often featured scenes of everyday life in rural Bavaria. The coin's design was created by Burger himself, and it is one of the few instances where an artist was able to create their own coin design.
