Interesting fact
The 20 Pfennigs coin from Rastatt, issued in 1917, features a unique design that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of a crowned eagle, while the reverse side features a wreath surrounding the denomination and year of issue. This coin is particularly interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, when many coins were made from substitute materials due to the shortage of precious metals. Despite being made of zinc, which was a less valuable material at the time, this coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a valuable addition to any coin collection.
