Interesting fact
The 15 Pfennigs - München 1918 coin was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local currencies like the 15 Pfennigs - München 1918 coin, which was issued by the City of Munich. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 2.9 grams, was a stable alternative to the rapidly devaluing national currency and was widely used in the region.
