Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value of 100 Pfennigs was significant at the time, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became nearly worthless. Despite this, the coin remains an interesting piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
