Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Trillion Mark - Westfalen (Freiherr vom Stein) 1923 coin is that it was issued during a time of extreme inflation in Germany, known as the "Hyperinflation" period, which lasted from 1921 to 1923. The coin was minted in Tombac, a copper alloy, and was one of the highest denomination coins issued during this time, with a face value of 1 Trillion Marks. Despite its high denomination, the coin's purchasing power was severely limited due to the rapid inflation, and it was eventually taken out of circulation and replaced with a new currency. Today, the coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, serving as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
