Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Pfennigs - Kelbra a. Kyffhäuser ND (1917) coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's low denomination and zinc composition were a result of the government's efforts to produce a large quantity of coins quickly and cheaply to meet the high demand for small change during this time. Despite its low value, the coin remains a popular collector's item today due to its historical significance and rarity.
