Comment
The Handelskammer Notmünzen were issued by the Ministry of State and were valid throughout the Grand Duchy Oldenburg.Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Oldenburg, issued in 1917, is interesting because it was made of iron, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin is a unique example of how the war effort influenced the production of currency.
