Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the period of German rule over Alsace-Lorraine, which was a region in eastern France that was annexed by Germany following the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-1871. The coin features the inscription "Kommandantur Oberhofen" which refers to the military administration that governed the region during this time. This coin is a rare and unique piece of history that serves as a reminder of the complex and tumultuous past of this region.
