Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin's value of 20 pfennigs was quite low compared to the inflated prices of goods and services at the time, making it a rare example of a coin that was used during a period of extreme economic instability.
