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, Reinhard Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent figure in the Nazi Party and was responsible for creating many of the designs for German coins during World War II. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of a German eagle on one side and the denomination on the other. It was minted in 1942 and is made of silver (.900) weighing 21.03g. Despite its interesting history and design, the coin's value is primarily determined by its silver content and rarity among collectors.
