1918 25 Pfennig Coblenz [solved]

Hi everyone
My token is magnetic, I figured having a US quarter in the picture would show how yellow it is.
To me it looks like Brass was somehow part of the composition of the planchet instead of just iron like the one listed in the linc below
Also, mine weighs 5.07grams, the one in the linc below is 5.2 it is also a little more than 24 mm unlike the one in the attachment that is 23.7 mm
What are your thoughts? should this be added as a new token type?
Any help would be great!
Thanks for helping if you do:)

Hi
I tested the linc, it didn't take me to where I want you to go, so I'll try again
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7101.html
I think this is the link to your coin ..
https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces7101.html

According to the Funck Catalog, there are six variations and four different platings. Nickel, copper, brass and blackened. The link on Numista only shows two of the six variations and none of the plating differences. The two variations listed are the most common ..

As with any of the Notgeld, measurement of one coin does not necessarily hold true for any of the other coins of its location and denomination. Besides that, there are expected to be variations that have not been cataloged ..

Another eason for the variations, is that, like Coblenz, cities had to go to minting companies that had stock. Even if the stock on hand was not exactly as ordered, the coins were minted. Since Coblenz was a large city, it needed large amount of coins. Therefore, they had to go to several different minting companies to get the quantities they need.

So, not considered a new variant of this token then?

​It has the possibility .. I'd have to translate all six of the variations in the Funck catalog to tell if it is .. I'd have to use Google translate, so if there is a German speaking member that has the Funck catalog, it would be appreciated if the would update the coin page with all of the variations ..

So your coin is the brass clad variety, correct size. And can be either a), b), or c) ​

Thank you all so much! Can someone add the varieties to the page , or is something I need to figure out how to do? I love this site! Every one from around the world helps one another!
This is both sides of the token

​you can add the varieties yourself. Go to the bottom of the coin page and click on 'modify or add data to this coin'. You can use all the translation that I did and quote the funck catalog and this thread.
I would have done it myself but i don't have the funck catalog.
