Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) 1926 from Germany (1871-1948) made of Copper-nickel weighing 3.5g 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 highly influential in the development of German coinage during that time. 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.
