Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Mannheim (Stotz and Cie) ND is interesting because it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins of the time, which were often made of more durable materials like copper or silver. Despite this, the coin has still managed to survive in good condition, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
