Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig coin from Schauenstein is that it was made of iron, which was a unusual choice of material for coins at that time, as most coins were made of copper, silver or gold. The use of iron was likely a result of the scarcity of other metals during World War I.
