Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark (Friedrich von Schiller; Trial Strike) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver weighing 24.95g is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The Weimar Republic, which was established in 1919, was facing hyperinflation, political instability, and rising nationalism. Despite these challenges, the Reichsmint continued to produce commemorative coins, including the Pattern 5 Reichsmark, which features Friedrich von Schiller, a renowned German philosopher and playwright. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's cultural heritage and intellectual tradition, and it was produced in limited quantities as a trial strike, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
