Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the period of German occupation of Alsace-Lorraine, which was a region in eastern France that was annexed by Germany during World War I. The coin features the inscription "Kommandantur Oberhofen" which means "Oberhofen Command" in German, indicating that it was issued by the German military administration in the region. This coin is a rare example of a currency issued during a specific historical period and occupation, making it a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of Europe and military currency.
