Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1927 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 4.15g 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 known for their intricate details and expressionist style. The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin features an image of a woman, representing the German state, surrounded by oak leaves and a shield with the German eagle. The design was meant to symbolize the strength and unity of the German people, and it was intended to be used as a regular circulating coin, but it was never officially released due to the political and economic instability of the time.
