Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Berlin-Wilmersdorf (Elektr. Werk Südwest AG) ND is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and it weighs only 1.0 g, making it one of the lightest coins in circulation at the time. Despite its small size and value, this coin is highly sought after by collectors today due to its historical significance and rarity.
