Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Rheinprovinz]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Dinslaken 1919 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 plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 25 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. Despite the economic challenges, the coin still maintains its historical significance and value among collectors today.
