Comment
Schaaf 331/G 11Interesting 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 known for his work on various German coins and banknotes, and his design for the Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features a depiction of the German eagle on the obverse side, and a portrait of the German poet and philosopher, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, on the reverse side. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's cultural and artistic heritage, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
