Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Niederramstadt (Wacker and Doerr) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.8 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, known as the "Notgeld" period, when many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency due to a shortage of official currency. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a unique design, showcasing the town's coat of arms and a stylized image of a farmer, symbolizing the region's agricultural heritage. Additionally, the fact that it's made of zinc makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were typically made of more common metals like copper or nickel.
