Interesting fact

The 15 Pfennigs - Crefeld (tram) 1917 coin from the City of Krefeld (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 3.6 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's value was worth significantly more than its face value, and it was used as a form of emergency currency during this time.
