Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Rothenburg ob der Tauber (Herterich Bruñen) 1921 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. This coin, made of iron and weighing 4.7 grams, was a response to the rapid devaluation of the German mark, which had lost much of its value due to excessive printing of money by the government. The coin's design, featuring the image of a medieval town hall, was meant to evoke a sense of stability and tradition, and was intended to inspire confidence in the currency. Despite its humble value, this coin is now a sought-after collector's item, a testament to the resilience of the German people during a time of economic hardship.
