Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig was a trial coinage that was minted in 1926, but it was never officially released into circulation. Instead, it was kept as a pattern coin, which is a coin that is minted to test a new design or to demonstrate a new technology. The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig is a rare and valuable coin among collectors today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars.
