Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued by a private company, Braunkohlenwerke A.G., which was a coal mining company in the municipality of Rositz in Saxe-Altenburg, Germany. This coin was used as a form of private currency for the company's employees and local businesses, and it was not recognized as legal tender by the German government.
