Interesting 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, rather than spending them, in the hopes that their value would increase over time.
