Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1947 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Aluminium weighing 0.94 g is that it was designed by the Allied powers during their occupation of Germany after World War II. The coin features the symbol of the Allied powers, the eagle, on one side and the German coat of arms on the other. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was produced as a pattern coin to test the design and production process. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
