Comment
(Menzel: BBB)Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Heddernheim (Kupfer Werk) ND is interesting because it was made of zinc, which was a unusual material for coins at that time. Most coins were made of copper, silver, or gold, but the use of zinc in this case was likely a cost-saving measure. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau.
