Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin was designed by German artist and engraver, Reinhart Heydrich, and features a unique pattern on its reverse side. The pattern includes the letters "RH" in the center, surrounded by a wreath of oak leaves, and is said to represent the artist's initials and his love for nature. This design was never adopted for circulation, making the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
