Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichsmark (Saar - Pattern) 1935 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Silver (.900) weighing 13.87 g is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Georg Roth. Roth was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era, and his design for this coin features a portrait of a young woman representing the Saar region, which was a disputed territory between Germany and France at the time. The coin's design was never adopted for circulation, making it a rare and unique piece for collectors.
