Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Schönwald 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 was rapidly decreasing. As a result, many municipalities, including Schönwald, began issuing their own local currency, like this coin, to combat the inflation and provide a stable means of exchange for their residents.
