Post a Beautiful or Unique[ly beautiful] Coin

Anyone that knows my collecting habits knows that I don't actively pursue high-end uncirculated coins. Part of that is a preference but it also has to do with my wallet. That said, when I saw this a few years ago, it spoke to me. Graded NGC MS66 it is Top Pop which honestly doesn't mean that much to me. It is cool that on the NGC price guide it is used as there "plate" coin.

A lot of beautiful coins in this thread So, this is one of my pieces, One Billion Marks of Westphalia 1923, a period of hyperinflation. I believe that the time and circumstances she went through make her unique in some way.

Not super rare, but not uncommon either.
