Interesting fact
The 20 Pfennigs - Wansen ND coin was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Prussia. The coin was minted in 1857, just a few years after the Prussian government had implemented a series of economic reforms aimed at modernizing the country's economy and increasing its industrial production. These reforms, known as the "Prussian Reforms," had a significant impact on the country's economy and helped to lay the groundwork for Germany's later economic success. It's also worth noting that the coin was made of iron, which was a common material for coins at the time. However, the use of iron in coinage was eventually phased out in favor of more durable materials like copper and nickel. Today, the 20 Pfennigs - Wansen ND coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for hundreds of dollars.
