Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs coin from Neusalz a. Oder (Gruschwitz Textilwerke Akt. Ges.) ND is a rare example of a coin that was issued by a private company, rather than a government or central bank. This practice was not uncommon in the Prussian province of Silesia during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, where private companies were allowed to issue their own coins for use in their factories and businesses. This coin, made of zinc and weighing 1.9 grams, is a unique piece of history that provides insight into the economic and industrial development of the region during that time.
