Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a portrait of Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, a German poet and novelist who was born in Westphalia in 1797. She is considered one of the most important German-language writers of the 19th century and is known for her contributions to German literature, particularly in the fields of poetry and novellas. The coin was issued in 1923 as part of a series of non-circulating coins commemorating notable figures from Westphalia, and it is made of aluminum, which was a relatively new material at the time.
