Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which is a relatively soft and corrosion-prone metal. This makes it unusual compared to other coins of the time, which were often made of more durable metals like copper or silver. Despite this, the zinc used in the 10 Pfennigs coin was likely alloyed with other metals to increase its durability and resist corrosion.
