Comment
Menzel: BBBFa.: Fahrrad-, Motorrad- und Schreibmaschinenfabrik (Bicycle, motorcycle and typewriter factory)
Triumph-Werke Nürnberg AG or TWN, was a German bicycle and motorcycle company. In 1886, Siegfried Bettmann founded the Triumph bicycle factory in Coventry, England, and in 1896 he founded a second bicycle factory in his native Nuremberg, Germany, under the same Triumph name. Both factories branched out into making motorcycles: the Coventry factory in 1902 and the Nuremberg factory in 1903.
In 1956 Max Grundig took over the Nuremberg company, merged it with his Adler motorcycle and typewriter business and terminated motorcycle production under the Triumph and TWN names
Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Nuremberg, Bavaria, features a unique design that showcases the city's rich history and culture. On one side of the coin, there is an image of the Nuremberg Castle, which dates back to the 11th century and has been a significant landmark in the city for centuries. On the other side, there is an image of a triumph arch, which was built in the 17th century to commemorate the victory of the Thirty Years' War. This coin is a great example of how numismatics can provide a window into a region's history and cultural heritage.
