Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Mülheim an der Ruhr 1917 coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in 1917, during the midst of World War I, and its production was likely impacted by the war effort. The fact that it was made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, may indicate that the coin was produced using alternative materials due to the wartime shortages of more traditional coinage metals like copper or silver. Additionally, the coin's design may have been influenced by the political and cultural climate of the time, with the image of the German eagle and the words "Deutsches Reich" (German Empire) prominently featured on the coin's obverse.
