Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from the Municipality of Ibenthann in Bavaria, Germany, was part of a series of coins issued by the Bayerische Überlandcentrale (Bavarian Overland Central) to promote the use of zinc in coinage. The use of zinc was a new and innovative material in coin production at the time, and the series was designed to showcase its durability and versatility. The coin , which features the Haidhof (a local manor house) on one side and the Bavarian coat of arms on the other, was minted in 1927 and weighs 1.0 gram, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
