Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Tilsit (Prussian province of East Prussia) made of Zinc weighing 5.7 g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1918, during the final year of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. Additionally, the coin's design, which features a crowned eagle and the value "1/2 Mark" on one side and the coat of arms of Tilsit on the other, may have been influenced by the political and cultural climate of the time.
