Comment
Neusilber is a recast of the iron variety. The coin shown missed cleanup after casting.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Oberstein 1919 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 dropped significantly due to the country's involvement in World War I and the subsequent economic crisis. As a result, many different types of coins were issued during this time, including the 25 Pfennigs - Oberstein 1919, which was made of nickel silver and weighed 3.59 grams. Despite the economic challenges of the time, this coin remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
