Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig (Pattern) ND (1938-1939) from Germany (1871-1948) made of Brass weighing 3.39g is that it was designed by sculptor and coin designer, Reinhard Schuster. Schuster was a prominent artist during the Nazi era and was known for creating propaganda artwork that promoted the ideology of the Third Reich. His design for the Pattern 50 Reichspfennig coin features an eagle holding a swastika, which was a common motif in Nazi-era art and symbolism. Despite its origins, the coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
