Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Germany. The Prussian province of Saxony, where the coin was minted, was a major industrial and commercial region, and the coin's nickel plating and zinc composition reflect the efforts of the time to create a more durable and affordable currency for everyday use.
