It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when the government issued emergency currency to address a shortage of small denomination coins. The coin's design features the Spiegelglaswerke Germania, a glass factory in Porz am Rhein, which was an important industrial site in the region. Today, this coin is highly sought after by collectors of German notgeld coins and can fetch high prices at auctions.
