Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Abbach (Portlandzementwerke) ND coin is a rare and unique coin that was minted in 1929 as part of a series of coins commemorating the 700th anniversary of the town of Abbach in Bavaria, Germany. The coin features an image of the Portlandzementwerke factory, which was a significant landmark in the town at the time. The factory produced cement, which was an important material for construction and infrastructure development in Germany during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The coin's design and mintage were overseen by the Bavarian State Mint, and it was made of zinc, which was a common material for coins at the time due to its durability and affordability. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item among numismatists and those interested in German history and culture.
