Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Wohltätigkeits- und Pflegeanstalt Reichenbach, a local charitable institution in Reichenbach, Bavaria. The coin's design features the institution's building and the letters "W" and "P" for Wohltätigkeits- und Pflegeanstalt.
