Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark coin from Düren, Prussia (1919) is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron was likely a result of the economic constraints and metal shortages that occurred during World War I.
