Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The value of the coin was so low that it was practically worthless, and people often used them as tokens for small purchases or as change. Despite its low value, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the economic struggles of the time.
