Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. The coin was issued in the late 1920s, during the Great Depression, and its low denomination and nickel-plated zinc composition reflect the economic constraints of the time. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable collector's item today, with some mint conditions selling for hundreds of dollars.
