Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Pfennigs coin from the Federal Republic of Germany, made of copper-nickel and weighing 12.43g, is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1949 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin.

The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
