Interesting fact
The obverse of the coin features a portrait of Eugen Sandow, a German bodybuilder and strongman, who was known for his muscular physique and was considered one of the strongest men in the world during his time. The coin was issued in the 1920s as part of a series of notgeld coins, which were emergency currency issued by local governments in Germany during a period of economic crisis. The coin's design was created by Paul Steinbock, a German artist and sculptor.
