Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Rhine, where Langerfeld is located, was a major industrial and commercial region, and the coin's minting was likely a response to the growing need for small denomination currency to facilitate trade and commerce. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material like zinc, the coin still holds historical significance as a symbol of the region's economic development during that time.
