Interesting fact
The ½ Mark coin from Neudamm (Prussian province of Brandenburg) made of Zinc is interesting because it was produced during a time of economic turmoil in Germany during World War I. The coin was issued as part of an emergency currency series, known as "Notgeld," which was introduced by the German government in 1914 to address a shortage of small denomination coins. The use of zinc as a material for the coin was also unusual, as most coins of the time were made of more traditional metals like copper, silver, or gold. The fact that the coin was produced in a time of economic crisis and made of a non-traditional material makes it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
