Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Pfennigs coin from the Federal Republic of Germany (1969-1984) is that it was designed by the German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heinsdorff. Heinsdorff's design features a stylized image of a German eagle surrounded by oak leaves, which symbolizes strength and unity. The coin's design was meant to represent the country's post-war economic and political recovery, and its integration into the European economic community.
