Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Nickel weighing 20.25g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were known for their intricate details and artistic value. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of the German eagle on one side and the value on the other, and it was intended to be used as a prototype for future coinage. However, it was never put into circulation and only a few samples were produced, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.
