Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Nuremberg (Sprengstoff A.G.) ND is a rare variation of the standard circulation coin, with only a limited number of coins minted. It's made of zinc and weighs 1.1 grams, which is slightly lighter than the standard 1 Pfennig coin made of bronze. This variation was minted during a time when the city of Nuremberg was experiencing economic difficulties, and the use of zinc instead of bronze was likely a cost-saving measure. As a result, these coins are now highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a premium price at auction.
