Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Aachen 1921 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1924), when the value of the German mark was rapidly decreasing. To combat this, the government issued coins with lower denominations, such as the 25 Pfennigs, to help people purchase everyday items. Despite being made of iron and having a relatively low value, this coin is now a rare and sought-after collector's item.
