Interesting fact
The iron used to mint this coin was likely recycled from old artillery shells, which was a common practice during World War I to conserve resources and support the war effort. This makes the coin not only a symbol of the economic struggles of the time but also a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of the people who produced it.
