Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of iron, which was a common material used for coinage during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin, in particular, was issued by the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine, which was a region that was annexed by Germany during the war. The coin features the image of a windmill and a shield, which symbolize the region's agricultural and industrial heritage. Additionally, the coin's design was created by two artists, Windschild and Mangelott, whose initials are visible on the coin's reverse side.
