Interesting fact
The 10 Pfennigs - Schöneck (Gebr. Koch) ND coin from German notgeld (Germany) made of Zinc weighing 2.3 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 a stylized image of a castle on one side and the denomination on the other. Additionally, its zinc composition makes it stand out from other coins of the time, which were typically made of copper or silver. As a result, this coin is highly sought after by collectors and can fetch a high price at auction.
