Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of a German eagle on one side and the denomination on the other, and its unique design makes it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
