Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was part of a series of emergency currency issued during a period of economic crisis in Germany known as "Notgeld" which translates to "emergency money" in English. These coins were made of cheaper materials like zinc and aluminum instead of the usual silver or gold to address the shortage of valuable metals during that time.
