Interesting fact

Lippe 1921 coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of more traditional coinage metals. The iron used in the production of this coin was likely sourced locally from the ironworks in the city of Werne an der Lippe, which was known for its iron production. This coin is a unique example of how the economic and political conditions of a time can shape the production of currency.
