Interesting fact

The A Token 1 Pfennig - Wilhelm II ND (1914) from Kiau Chau (China) made of Copper is a rare and unique coin that was issued during the German colonial period in China. It is interesting to note that the coin was minted in Germany, but it was never circulated in Germany itself. Instead, it was only used in the German colony of Kiau Chau, which is now known as Qingdao. This coin is a valuable collector's item for numismatists and historians interested in the history of German colonialism in China.
