Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Werne a. d. Lippe ND coin is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of precious metals like gold, silver, or copper. The use of iron in the production of this coin reflects the economic and political circumstances of the time, as the value of the coin was not in its material worth, but in its face value as a medium of exchange. This coin is a unique example of how currency can be used as a tool for economic and political purposes, rather than just a medium of exchange.
