Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1922. The value of the coin, 20 Mark, was worth significantly less than it would have been just a few years prior due to the economic crisis. This coin is a tangible representation of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the early 1920s.
