Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Hof 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the 1 Pfennig coin, which was previously made of copper, was changed to zinc to reduce production costs and keep up with the high demand for coinage. This coin, in particular, was minted in the city of Hof an der Saale, which is located in the federal state of Bavaria, and it weighs 1.62 grams, making it a unique and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
