Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig - Znin 1918 coin was issued during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation, and the value of the German mark had dropped significantly. In response, the government introduced a new currency, the "Notgeld," which was backed by the value of gold and other precious metals. The 1 Pfennig - Znin 1918 coin was part of this Notgeld currency, and it was made of iron, which was a more affordable and accessible material than other metals at the time. Despite its humble composition, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of dollars.
