Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper weighing 10.02g 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 a German eagle on one side and the value on the other, and it was minted in 1942, during World War II. Despite its historical significance, the coin was never widely circulated and remains a rare and valuable collector's item.
