Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Pfennigs coin was designed by German artist and engraver, Karl Goetz, who is known for his work on various German coins during the early 20th century. The coin features a unique design that showcases a stylized eagle with outstretched wings, clutching a wreath in its talons. The eagle is surrounded by a circular border with the denomination "50 Pfennigs" inscribed at the bottom. The coin's design was meant to symbolize Germany's economic and political revival after World War I.
