Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from Thale am Harz is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1921. The coin was made of iron, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold, and it was enamelled to give it a distinctive look. Despite its low value, the coin is now a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance and rarity.
