Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin is that it was designed by the Allied powers during their occupation of Germany after World War II. The coin features a unique design that includes the letters "BM" (Bayerische Motoren Werke) on the reverse side, which stands for Bavarian Motor Works, a German automobile and motorcycle manufacturing company. This is a rare feature on German coins and adds to the coin's historical significance and value.
