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, Georg Kulenkampff. Kulenkampff was a prominent figure in the field of numismatics and his designs were known for their intricate details and realistic portrayals. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of a German eagle on one side and a portrait of Paul von Hindenburg on the other, who was the President of Germany at the time. The coin's design is considered a rare and unique example of Kulenkampff's work, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
