Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), where the value of the German mark dropped significantly due to excessive printing of money, leading to a period of hyperinflation. Despite this, the 20 Pfennigs coin remained a stable denomination and was widely used in everyday transactions.
