Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Reichsmark (Martin Luther - Mule Pattern) 1936 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 10.57 g is a rare and unique coin that features a mistake in its design. The coin was minted with the obverse of the 5 Reichsmark coin designed by sculptor Richard Placht, but it was paired with the reverse of the 10 Reichsmark coin, which features a portrait of Martin Luther. This error makes the coin particularly valuable among collectors, as it is a one-of-a-kind piece in the world of numismatics.
