Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The Zündholzfabrik (meaning "match factory" in German) depicted on the coin was a significant economic driver for the municipality of Albersweiler in Bavaria, Germany. The factory was established in 1872 and produced matches until 1972, when it was closed due to declining demand. The coin's design, featuring the Zündholzfabrik, serves as a reminder of the town's industrial heritage and its contribution to the local economy.
