| Aanvullende informatie |
By 1915, German minting authorities were already experimenting with iron and zinc as substitutes for silver, which was being hoarded and melted as the war dragged on. This piece is a pattern strike in iron for a commemorative issue marking the 400th anniversary of the passing of Mansfeld County to Hohenzollern rule — a dynastic occasion that, under peacetime circumstances, would have warranted a standard silver issue. The silver version was indeed produced, but pattern trials in base metals from this period are rarely documented in official Prussian mint records and survive in very small numbers.
