Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig - Rodach (Max Roesler A. G.) ND coin is that it was made of zinc, which was a common material used for coin production in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Zinc was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were intended to be used extensively in circulation. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin still features a detailed design, including the image of a crowned eagle on the obverse side, which adds to its historical and collectible value.
