Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 4.04 g is that it was designed by German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold G. H. Schuler. Schuler was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Weimar Republic and his design for the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig features a portrait of a young woman, symbolizing the German people, surrounded by oak leaves and a shield with the German eagle. The coin's design was meant to represent the country's hope for a brighter future after the turmoil of World War I.
