Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Warendorf, issued in 1920, features a unique design that reflects the city's history and culture. On one side, the coin depicts the Warendorf city hall, while the other side features a horse and rider, symbolizing the city's agricultural heritage. This coin is particularly interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period," when many notgeld coins were issued as a temporary solution to the lack of official currency. Despite its humble origins, this coin has become a sought-after collector's item, offering a glimpse into the history of a small town in Prussia during a time of great change.
