Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Frankenthal (Palatinate) in Bavaria, Germany, issued in 1918, is interesting because it was made of zinc, a material that was commonly used for coins during World War I due to the shortage of other metals. This coin, weighing 1.6 grams, was also part of a series of coins issued during the war years, known as the "Notgeld" (emergency money) coins, which were issued by various cities and towns in Germany to address the shortage of small denomination coins.
