Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was known for his work on various German coins and banknotes during the early 20th century, and his design for the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features a depiction of a German eagle on the obverse side, and a wreath of oak leaves on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the strength and unity of the German people during a time of economic and political turmoil in the country.
