The coins minted in 1917 were not circulating and all come from the burned down Stuttgart mint.

Interesting fact

The 1 Fenig coin was issued during a time of great turmoil in Poland's history. The country was occupied by various powers, including Germany and Austria-Hungary, during World War I. Despite this, the Polish people were able to maintain their cultural identity and sense of national pride, which is reflected in the coin's design. The coin features the Polish coat of arms, which includes a white eagle on a red background, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This symbolism represents the country's struggle for independence and its commitment to freedom and democracy.
