Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and iron composition were a result of the economic crisis, as the government struggled to produce coins with more valuable materials. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique piece of history and a testament to the resilience of the German people during a difficult period.
