Comment
1─ Weight varieties exist. 2─There are no date letters at the bottom. 3─As this coin is zinc it is not magnetic.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Wilhelm II, who was the last German Emperor and King of Prussia. The coin's mintage period, 1917-1922, spanned the end of World War I and the subsequent economic crisis that led to hyperinflation in Germany. As a result, the value of the coin's metal content, zinc, fluctuated greatly during this time, making it an interesting artifact of a tumultuous period in German history.
