Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Spiegelau, Bavaria, made of iron and weighing 1.7g, is interesting because it was issued by a private company, Ernst Petzold Jr. Holzindustrie, rather than a government mint. This is a rare example of a privately minted coin that was accepted as legal tender in a particular region.
