Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Roth bei Nürnberg, issued in 1918, is that 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 the use of iron was a nod to the city's industrial heritage and its reputation for ironworking. This choice of material also made the coin stand out from other coins in circulation at the time, and it has become a unique and collectible piece of numismatic history.
