Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1919 25 Pfennigs coin from the City of Düren is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of iron was likely a result of the scarcity of other metals during World War I. The use of iron also gave the coin a distinctive dark gray color, which made it stand out from other coins in circulation.
