Interesting fact
The 25 Pfennigs - Wollin 1919 coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, known as the "Inflationary Period" (1914-1923). During this time, the value of the German mark (the national currency) plummeted, and prices for everyday goods skyrocketed. To combat this, the government issued new coins with lower denominations, such as the 25 Pfennigs coin, to help people purchase basic necessities. Despite the economic challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of euros.
