Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1917 Agatharied 20 Pfennigs coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The country was facing severe inflation and the coin's low denomination was a result of the government's attempt to introduce smaller denomination coins to combat the inflation. Additionally, the coin was minted using zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like silver or gold, and this was a common practice during this time period. Despite these efforts, the coin's value was still not stable and it lost much of its purchasing power over time.
