Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted by a private company, Josef Schrank Goldwaren and Uhrengeschäft, rather than a government mint. This is indicated by the "ND" mint mark, which stands for "Nicht deutsches Münzzeichen" or "Not a German mint mark." This suggests that the coin was minted by a private entity, rather than the German government.
