Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Pfennigs - Lugau (Lugauer Steinkohlen Bauverein) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Nickel plated zinc weighing 2.3 g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was part of a series of emergency currency issued by local authorities, known as "notgeld," which translates to "emergency money" in English. The coin's design features the Lugau mining company's logo on one side and the denomination and date on the other. Despite its low value, the coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the economic challenges faced by Germany during that time.
