Interesting fact
The 25 Pfennigs coin from Wattenscheid, issued in 1920, is interesting because it was made of aluminum, which was a unusual choice for coins at that time. Aluminum was still a relatively new material in the early 20th century, and its use in coins was not common until later years. This coin is a unique example of early experimentation with different materials in coin production.
