Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1923, during a time of great economic and political turmoil in Germany, known as the Hyperinflation era. Despite the economic challenges, the coin's face value of 6 Mark was still considered a significant amount, equivalent to about 10-15 euros today. Additionally, the coin's design, featuring the Hexentanzplatz Bodetal Rosstrappe, a scenic spot in the Harz mountains, is a unique representation of the region's cultural heritage.
