Interesting fact
The 20 Pfennigs - Freyung ND coin was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation. In 1923, the year the coin was minted, inflation in Germany had reached a staggering 200,000,000,000%! As a result, the value of the coin's 20 pfennig denomination was equivalent to only a fraction of a cent in today's currency. Despite this, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
