Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Pfennigs coin was designed by artist and sculptor, Reinhard Lange, and features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes a stylized image of a wheat ear, which symbolizes fertility and abundance, surrounded by a circle of small dots. This design was intended to represent the themes of agriculture and prosperity, which were important to the German Democratic Republic at the time.
