Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Ramsdorf (Braunkohlenwerk) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 1.9 g is a rare and valuable collector's item. It was minted during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s, when the value of the German mark plummeted. As a result, many cities and towns issued their own emergency currency, known as "notgeld," to serve as a stable alternative to the rapidly devaluing national currency. The 10 Pfennigs - Ramsdorf coin is one such example, and its rarity and historical significance make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
