The coin was minted in 1921, just a few years after the end of World War I, which had left Germany facing significant economic challenges, including hyperinflation and a large national debt. Despite these challenges, the city of Neisse (Silesia) was able to issue this coin as a way to promote local commerce and industry. The fact that it was made of aluminum, a relatively lightweight and inexpensive material, also speaks to the economic constraints of the time.
