Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1920 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Friedrich Schiller, a renowned German philosopher, poet, and playwright. The coin features an image of Schiller on one side and the Marbach Castle on the other. It was minted in iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, but it was done to commemorate the fact that Schiller was known for his advocacy of the rights of the common man, and iron was seen as a more accessible and affordable material for the general population.
