Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins, which were often made of more durable materials like copper, silver, or gold. Despite this, the zinc used in the 10 Pfennigs coin was still able to withstand the wear and tear of circulation and remains a unique feature of this particular coin.
