Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Oberwesel 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 plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. As a result, the government was forced to issue new coins with lower denominations, such as the 25 Pfennigs, to keep up with the rapidly increasing prices. This coin, in particular, was minted in the city of Oberwesel, which was part of the Prussian province of Rhine, and was made of iron, which was a common material used for coins during this time period due to its durability and affordability. Despite its humble appearance, this coin serves as a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany in the aftermath of World War I.
