Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1939 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Zinc weighing 2.5g is that it was designed by German artist and sculptor, Reinhold Klein. Klein was known for his work in creating coins and medals for the Nazi regime, and his design for the Pattern 5 Reichspfennig features an eagle holding a swastika, which was a symbol of the Nazi party. This coin was never officially released into circulation, but it is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
