Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Camberg (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Zinc weighing 2.39 g is interesting because it was produced during a time of war, specifically during World War I, and its design reflects this historical context. The coin features a unique wartime design, with a soldier's helmet and an eagle on the obverse, and a simple numerical design on the reverse. This design was used for coins produced during the war years, and it was meant to convey a sense of patriotism and support for the war effort. Additionally, the use of zinc as the material for the coin was also a result of the war, as other metals like copper and nickel were in short supply due to the war effort.
