Interesting fact

The 2 Pfennigs - Heddernheim (Kupfer Werk) ND coin from the Municipality of Heddernheim (Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau) made of Zinc weighing 2.5 g is interesting because it was produced during a time when the Prussian province of Hesse-Nassau was undergoing significant economic and political changes. The coin's mintage was likely a response to the growing need for small denomination coins in circulation, and its design reflects the region's rich history and culture. Additionally, the use of zinc as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to other metals.
