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 plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the "Pfennig," which was worth 1/100th of a mark. The 1 Pfennig - Schönwald 1918 coin was part of this effort, and it was made of iron, a material that was readily available and less expensive than other metals, to keep production costs down. Despite its humble beginnings, this coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
