Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time when Germany was going through a period of hyperinflation, and the value of the coin's metal content was actually higher than its face value. This led to many people hoarding coins like this one, hoping that their value would increase over time. However, this did not happen, and the coin's value remained relatively low. Despite this, the coin remains an interesting piece of history and a reminder of the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
