Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's low denomination and made of iron, which was a cheaper metal, reflects the economic challenges faced by the country during that time.
