Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation, which led to the creation of many emergency coins like this one. The coin's value was 20 pfennigs, but due to inflation, its purchasing power was equivalent to only a few cents. Despite this, the coin still holds historical significance and is a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
