Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Niederramstadt (Wacker and Doerr) ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for producing coins during the time of notgeld (emergency money) in Germany. This coin, in particular, was issued during the early 20th century, a period of economic turmoil in Germany, and the use of iron instead of more traditional metals like copper or silver was likely a cost-saving measure. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still features a detailed design, including the image of a woman holding a shield and a hammer, symbolizing the strength and resilience of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
