Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, a renowned German poet and novelist, who was born in Westphalia in 1797. She is considered one of the most important German-language writers of the 19th century and is known for her works such as "Die Judenbuche" and "Die Schicksalslenker". The coin was issued in 1923 as a non-circulating coin, meaning it was not meant to be used as regular currency, but rather as a collector's item or a token of appreciation. The fact that it features a prominent literary figure like Annette von Droste-Hülshoff makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
