Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1939 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Zinc weighing 3.49 g is that it was designed by German artist and sculptor, Reinhold E. G. Schmechel. Schmechel was known for his work on various coins and medals during the Third Reich era, and his design for the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig features a stylized eagle on the obverse (front) side, while the reverse (back) side bears the denomination and the year of issue. This particular coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a limited number minted in 1939.
