Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Brandenburg]Interesting fact
The coin features a unique design on its reverse side, showcasing a stork in flight, which is a symbol of the city of Fürstenwalde. The stork is depicted carrying a baby in its beak, which is a nod to a local legend that storks would bring babies to new parents in the city. This charming design element adds a touch of whimsy and folklore to the coin, making it stand out among other coins of its time.
