Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Aachen 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. As a result, the government was forced to issue coins with lower denominations, such as the 25 Pfennigs, to keep up with the increasing prices of everyday goods. Despite being made of iron and having a relatively low value, this coin is now a rare and sought-after collector's item.
