Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of time when the Imperial territory of Alsace-Lorraine was under German rule, specifically between 1871 and 1918. During this period, the city of Mulhouse, where the coin was minted, was known as Mülhausen im Elsass and was a significant center for trade and commerce. The coin itself is made of zinc and weighs 2.1 grams, which was a common composition and weight for coins of its denomination at the time.
