Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Düren, Prussia, 1919, made of iron, and weighing 8.4 grams, is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the government had to print more and more money to keep up with the inflation, resulting in the production of many different types of coins, including this one.
