Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1947 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Nickel 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 image of a German eagle surrounded by the words "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) and the date 1947. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but it was produced as a pattern coin, which means it was created as a prototype or sample for a potential coin design. As a result, it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
