Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Nickel weighing 3.55g is that it was designed by German engraver and sculptor, Reinhart Heydrich. Heydrich was a prominent artist during the Weimar Republic and his designs were highly influential in the development of German coinage during that time. The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin features an image of a woman, representing the German people, surrounded by oak leaves and a shield with the German eagle on it. This design was meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the German nation.
