Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Deggendorf (L. and E. Vollmuth) ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at the time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was seen as a way to reduce the cost of production and make the coin more accessible to the general population. This decision was also a reflection of the economic and political climate of the time, as Germany was experiencing significant inflation and economic challenges in the early 20th century. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in circulation.
