Interesting fact

The 25 Pfennigs coin from Furtwangen (Federal state of Baden) made of Zinc weighing 1.75g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. In 1918, Germany was facing hyperinflation, and the value of the German mark had decreased significantly. As a result, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and was intended to stabilize the economy. The 25 Pfennigs coin was minted during this time, and it features a unique design that reflects the economic and political climate of the time.
