Interesting fact
The iron used to mint this coin was likely sourced from the German steel industry, which was booming during World War I. The use of iron in coin production was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable material. However, the iron used in this coin was likely of a lower quality than the iron used in other coins, as it was intended for circulation in a time of economic hardship and scarcity. Despite this, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of dollars.
