Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Emmerich 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically during the Weimar Republic (1919-1933). The coin's iron composition was a result of the severe shortage of other metals, such as copper and silver, which were traditionally used in coinage. The use of iron was a temporary measure to address the shortage, and it is a unique feature of this particular coin.
