Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Pfennigs (Pattern) 1950 from Federal Republic of Germany made of Silver (Silver-Copper) weighing 3.1 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff was known for his work on various German coins and banknotes, and his design for the Pattern 5 Pfennigs coin features a unique combination of geometric shapes and botanical elements. The coin's design was ultimately not adopted for circulation, making it a rare and interesting piece for collectors.
