Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Westfalen]Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Gronau 1918 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 print more and more money to keep up with the inflation, leading to the creation of many different types of coins and banknotes, including the 25 Pfennigs - Gronau 1918 coin.
