Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1947 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Brass plated iron weighing 2.99 g is that it was designed by the Allied powers during their occupation of Germany after World War II. The coin features the denomination "5" on one side and the German eagle on the other, with the words "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) written above it. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but a small number of pattern coins were produced as trial strikes. As a result, it is considered a rare and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
