Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig (Allied Occupation - Pattern) 1947 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Nickel plated iron is that it was designed by the Allied powers as a replacement for the existing German currency, the Reichsmark, after World War II. The coin features the letters "BMC" (British Military Council) on the reverse, indicating that it was issued under the authority of the British occupation forces in Germany. This coin is a rare and unique example of the currency reform implemented by the Allies during the occupation period, and it serves as a reminder of the complex history of post-war Germany.
