Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Ludwig van Beethoven's death, which occurred in 1827. The coin features an image of Beethoven on one side and the Bonn Minster on the other. The use of iron as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice to symbolize the industrialization and modernization of Germany in the early 20th century.
