Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Eschwege (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Zinc weighing 1.9 g is interesting because it was minted during a time when the use of zinc in coinage was still a relatively new practice. Zinc was first introduced as a coinage metal in the early 19th century, and it was not widely used until the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The fact that this coin was made of zinc suggests that it was likely minted during this time period, and it is a interesting example of the transition from traditional metals like silver and gold to more modern materials like zinc.
