Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 0.20 Goldmark - Werdohl (Colsmann and Co) 1923 coin from the Prussian province of Westphalia is that it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Aluminum was still a relatively new material in the early 20th century, and its use in coins was not common until later in the century. This makes the coin a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
