Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Ravensburg 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Weimar Republic (1919-1933). The coin's value was equivalent to 1/100th of a German mark, and it was used as a substitute for the rapidly devaluing paper mark. The use of iron in the coin's production was also a result of the economic crisis, as more valuable metals like gold and silver were not available due to the war reparations imposed on Germany after World War I. Despite its low value, the coin remains a unique piece of history and a testament to the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
