Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Berlin (H. Tietz) ND coin was issued during a time of economic turmoil in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of zinc, which was a cheaper alternative to traditional metals like copper or silver, and was designed to be easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. Despite its low value, the coin is now considered a rare and collectible item, with some mint conditions selling for thousands of euros.
