Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark (Liberation of Cologne - Pattern) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.500) weighing 24.41 g is that it was designed by German artist and engraver, Georg Kulenkampff. Kulenkampff was known for his work on various German coins and banknotes during the early 20th century, and his design for this particular coin features a depiction of the Cologne Cathedral on the obverse, and an eagle on the reverse. The coin was minted in 1926 to commemorate the liberation of Cologne from French occupation, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
