Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Pfennigs - Düsseldorf (M.-Fabr. Rheinland A.G.) ND coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, a period of hyperinflation in Germany, which saw the value of the German mark plummet. As a result, many Germans turned to alternative forms of currency, such as local Notgeld (emergency money) and foreign currencies. Despite this, the 20 Pfennigs coin remained in circulation and was a widely used denomination during this time.
