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 many other coins, which were typically made of more durable metals like copper, silver, or gold. Despite this, the zinc used in the 10 Pfennigs coin was still able to withstand circulation and remain in decent condition, a testament to the durability of the metal and the craftsmanship of the mint.
