Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for notgeld coins during the time period. Notgeld coins were emergency currency issued by local governments and businesses in Germany during the early 20th century, particularly during the hyperinflation period of 1923-1924. The use of iron for these coins was a practical choice due to its durability and availability, and it also gave the coins a distinctive weight and feel that set them apart from other coins.
