Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Konitz (Westpreußen) ND (1916) from German notgeld (Germany) made of Iron is that it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during World War I, when the country was facing a severe shortage of metals and other resources. As a result, many German cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld," which was made from a variety of materials, including iron, like in the case of the Konitz coin. This coin is a unique example of how a country's currency can be impacted by historical events and economic conditions.
