Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Oschatz (Th. Bauch Nachf.) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.0 g is that it was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was issued as an emergency currency, also known as "Notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the city's coat of arms, symbolizing the city's resilience and determination to overcome the economic challenges of the time.
