Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value of 2 million marks was a significant amount at the time, but due to the inflation, it quickly lost its value and became practically worthless. This coin is now considered a rare collector's item and is a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 20th century.
