Interesting fact

The 1 Pfennig - Sandow (Paul Steinbock) ND coin was designed by the artist Paul Steinbock, who was a well-known German sculptor and medalist. He created the design for this coin during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the period of hyperinflation in the 1920s. The coin's design features a portrait of the German athlete Eugen Sandow, who was a famous bodybuilder and strongman in the early 20th century. The coin's design was meant to symbolize the strength and resilience of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
