Interesting fact
The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 5.05g is a rare and unique coin. It was minted in 1925 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a potential new design. The coin features an interesting combination of elements, including a depiction of a German eagle on the obverse (front) side and a denomination of 50 Reichspfennig on the reverse (back) side. The use of copper-nickel in the coin's composition gives it a distinctive color and durability. Additionally, the coin's weight of 5.05g is slightly heavier than a standard Reichspfennig coin, which makes it stand out even more. Overall, this coin is a fascinating piece of numismatic history that would be a valuable addition to any coin collection.
