Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Rhine, where the Municipality of Oedt is located, was a key region in the German Empire and the coin's minting reflects the growing economic and political influence of the region during that time.
