Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Schleswig-Holstein]Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Flensburg (notgeld) issued in 1917 is interesting because it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but due to the wartime economic conditions, the use of iron was considered more practical and efficient. This coin is a unique example of how the scarcity of materials during wartime can lead to innovative solutions in currency production.
