Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Pfennigs - Westerholt 1920 coin is that it was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923), when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the prices of goods and services skyrocketed. To combat this issue, the government introduced a new currency, the Rentenmark, which was pegged to gold and restricted the amount of money in circulation. The 25 Pfennigs - Westerholt 1920 coin, made of iron and weighing 4.9 grams, was part of this effort to stabilize the economy and restore confidence in the German currency.
