Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of stainless steel weighing 10.6g is that it was designed by the German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Begas. Begas was a prominent artist during the Nazi era and was known for his work on various coins, medals, and monuments. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of a German eagle on one side and the denomination on the other. It is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
