Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Württemberg]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark coin from Freudenstadt, issued in 1918, is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper, but due to the scarcity of these metals during World War I, the German government decided to use iron as a substitute. This made the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds an interesting historical footnote to its story.
