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 many other coins, which are typically made of more durable materials like copper, silver, or gold. Despite this, the zinc composition was likely chosen for its low cost and ease of production, as well as its ability to be easily stamped or molded into the desired shape.
