Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Werne a. d. Lippe 1918 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 a shortage of traditional coinage metals due to the First World War. The decision to use iron was likely a practical one, as it was a readily available and affordable material that could be used to produce a large quantity of coins quickly. This coin is a unique example of how the needs of war can drive innovation in currency production.
