Interesting fact
The 1 Mark coin from Hohensalza (Posen) is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was minted in 1917, during the height of World War I, and its production was likely a response to the wartime economic crisis. The use of zinc as the material for the coin was likely chosen due to its affordability and durability, as well as the fact that it was a readily available material during a time of war. This coin serves as a reminder of the economic and political challenges faced by Germany during this time period.
