Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Bonn (Hauptmannsche Druckerei) 1917 coin is that it was produced during a time of severe inflation in Germany, known as the "Inflation of 1914-1923." During this period, the value of the German mark dropped significantly, and the government was forced to print more and more money to keep up with the increasing prices. As a result, many coins from this era, including the 25 Pfennigs - Bonn (Hauptmannsche Druckerei) 1917, have become highly sought after by collectors due to their historical significance and rarity.
