Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Pfennigs - Ettenheim 1921 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in the state of Baden. In 1921, the inflation rate in Germany peaked at 200 billion percent, making the value of the German mark almost worthless. As a result, many cities and towns, including Ettenheim, issued their own emergency currency, like this 20 Pfennigs coin, to combat the inflation and provide a stable means of exchange for their citizens.
