Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The Zündholzfabrik (meaning "match factory" in German) depicted on the coin was a significant economic and cultural landmark in the municipality of Albersweiler, Bavaria. The factory was established in 1872 and produced matches until its closure in 1984. The coin's design, which features the Zündholzfabrik building, serves as a reminder of the town's industrial heritage and the importance of the match-making industry in the region's history.
