Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig was a proposed coin design that was never actually minted or circulated. It was created as a pattern coin, which means it was produced in small quantities for testing and evaluation purposes, but it was ultimately rejected in favor of a different design. Despite its rarity, the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig is still highly sought after by collectors today due to its unique design and historical significance.
