Issuing authority: [Privat, Hessen-Nassau]Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Heddernheim (Kupferwerk) ND coin from the Municipality of Heddernheim (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Zinc weighing 2.5 g is interesting because it was issued during a time when the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau was undergoing significant economic and political changes. The coin's mintage was a result of the need for a standardized currency system in the region, and it features a unique design that reflects the region's history and culture. Additionally, the fact that it was made of zinc, a relatively inexpensive metal, suggests that it was intended for everyday use by the general population, making it a fascinating example of a coin that has been used in the daily lives of people in the past.
