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 early 20th century. The Pattern 5 Reichsmark coin features an image of a woman, representing the German nation, surrounded by oak leaves and a shield with the German eagle. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the country's strength and resilience during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany.
