Interesting fact
The 1 Pfennig coin from Trier (Prussian province of Rhine) made of Zinc weighing 1.1 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Germany. In 1917, Germany was facing a severe shortage of coins due to the war effort, leading to the minting of coins made of substitute materials like zinc, aluminum, and even cardboard. This coin is a rare example of a coin made of zinc, which was not commonly used in coinage at that time.
