Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Münsterberg 1918 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the early 1920s. The coin's iron composition was a result of the wartime economy and the lack of available metals, and it was one of the few coins that were produced during this time that did not have a portrait of a king or emperor on it. Instead, it featured the image of a woman representing the city of Münsterberg. This coin is now a rare collector's item and serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time period.
