Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Leipzig (Schusters Warenhaus) ND coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued to commemorate a specific event, but was never actually released into circulation. The coin was minted in 1938 to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Schusters Warenhaus department store in Leipzig, but due to the outbreak of World War II, it was never distributed to the public. As a result, only a small number of these coins were produced, making them highly sought after by collectors.
