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 of the time, which were often made of more durable metals like copper, silver, or gold. The use of zinc in this coin may have been a cost-saving measure, as zinc was less expensive than other metals at the time. Despite its softness, the zinc used in this coin has held up well over time, and many examples remain in good condition to this day.
