Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Schauenstein (H. Heye Glasfabrik) 1921 is interesting because it was produced during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, where the value of the German Mark plummeted, and many companies, like H. Heye Glasfabrik, started producing their own coins to use as currency. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.6g, was one of the many emergency coins produced during this time, and it features the name of the city, Schauenstein, and the year 1921 on its design.
