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 zinc composition reflect the economic constraints of the time. Despite its low value, the coin is still a valuable collector's item today, and its history provides a fascinating glimpse into the economic and political climate of interwar Germany.
