Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Rothenburg ob der Tauber (St. Wolfgang) 1921 coin is that it features an image of St. Wolfgang, the patron saint of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, on one side, and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany, following World War I, and its iron composition was likely chosen due to the scarcity of other metals at the time. Despite its humble appearance, this coin is a valuable piece of history and a reminder of the resilience of the people of Rothenburg ob der Tauber during difficult times.
