Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 3.42g is that it was designed by German engraver and sculptor, Reinhold H. H. H. Rau. Rau was a prominent artist during the early 20th century and his designs were used on various German coins, including this pattern coin.
