Comment
Issuing authority: [Stadt, Pfalz]Interesting fact
The 2 Pfennigs - Frankenthal 1920 coin from the City of Frankenthal (Palatinate) in the Federal state of Bavaria, made of Zinc and weighing 2.9 g, is interesting because it was issued during a time of hyperinflation in Germany, specifically in 1920, when the value of the German mark plummeted, and the price of goods and services skyrocketed. This coin, despite its small denomination, became a valuable commodity during that time, as people sought alternative forms of currency to the devalued mark.
