Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark (Friedrich Schiller - Pattern) 1934 from Germany is that it was designed by sculptor and coin designer, Reinhard Schuster. Schuster was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era, and his design for this particular coin features a portrait of Friedrich Schiller, a famous German philosopher and writer, on the obverse, and an image of a German eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1934, but it was never officially released into circulation, making it a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
