Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig - Schöneck (Gebr. Koch) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.1 g is a rare and valuable coin among collectors due to its historical significance and limited mintage. It was produced during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, where local governments and private companies issued their own emergency currency to address the shortage of official currency. The coin's design features the image of a woman holding a shield with the German eagle, symbolizing the country's resilience and determination during a difficult period.
