Interesting fact

The 25 Pfennigs - Habelschwerdt ND coin from the Prussian province of Lower Silesia is an interesting piece of German notgeld, or emergency currency, issued during a time of economic crisis in the early 20th century. One fascinating fact about this coin is that, despite being made of iron and weighing 25.5 grams, it was still considered a standard circulation coin and was accepted as legal tender in Germany during that time. This highlights the resourcefulness and adaptability of the German people during times of economic hardship, as they found ways to create currency from readily available materials like iron, copper, and other metals.
