Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig - Cüstrin 1918 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local emergency currencies like the 1 Pfennig - Cüstrin 1918 coin. These coins were issued by local municipalities and were backed by the value of the municipality's assets, such as property and goods. The 1 Pfennig - Cüstrin 1918 coin is a rare example of a local emergency currency from this time period and is highly sought after by collectors today.
