Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of time when the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine was under German rule, specifically between 1871 and 1918. This coin is a representation of the unique history and cultural blend of the region, which has been influenced by both German and French cultures throughout the centuries.
