Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of zinc, which was a common material used for producing coins during the time period. Zinc was chosen for its durability and resistance to corrosion, making it an ideal material for coins that were intended to be used frequently and handled by many people. Additionally, zinc was also relatively inexpensive compared to other metals, which made it a cost-effective option for producing coins. The use of zinc in the production of coins like the 2 Pfennigs - Berlin-Wilmersdorf (Elektr. Werk Südwest AG) ND coin helped to ensure that the coinage was accessible and affordable for the general population.
